David and I had our Eagle Scout Award ceremony together. I have a picture of us with our parents and our cake from that night. Condolences to the family.
Ann, I have been out of town and just read this. I am so sorry to hear about David. I remember the two of you coming to the office to see your dad, and how proud he was of both of you. I was surprised to read that David was 65; I still think of both of you as being much younger. My prayers are with you and your family. Love, Sarah Breshears.
I remember David as a young man & fellow St Luke’s Parishioner. I was a couple of years older, but I do remember being in Scouts at the same time. He was always fun to be around and was really smart. He will be missed.
Ann,
I am so sorry about your brother’s death. I have many happy memories playing with David when we were kids! Your family lived next door to my family on Idlewild Ave before you were born. Your mom made the best brownies and she made some doll clothes for me that I loved! I I have photos of David and Cindy, another neighbor, and I playing from ages 5 through age 9. We went to Park Hill Elementary School together so I have several first day of school photos of the 3 of us as we were all the same age. We bad picnics in the yard, climbed trees and rode bikes! David was so smart and funny and was a good friend. I am grateful I knew David and smile thinking on the adventures the 3 of us had that made our childhood special.
Respectfully,
Mary Ann (Hooker) Williams
