TO THE FAMILY: I am sorry for your loss. “From the power of the Grave I will redeem them; From death I will recover them.” Hosea 13:14.
Love you, sweet David. You will be missed.
To Brenda and the entire family I offer my condolences. The news of losing David makes me very sad. Though we didn’t stay in touch, we go way back. I always admired his steadfast work in food preparation for American Legion events, often pictured in the newspaper year after year. His dry sense of humor was right up there with his Dad and brother Tim. He was a giver for sure.
Stay strong and be well.
So sorry you have left this world, but please know you will be missed!
From one Petty Officer 2nd Class to another. Semper Fortis, my brother. See you on the Highest of Seas and we’ll hit a port of call together.
