Davie was a good friend and fellow pilot. Rilla and I will most certainly miss spending time with him at Hawkins County Airport. We had several visits with him and Geneva over the years, and enjoyed the times we spent with them. Rest in Peace, David.
David will be missed by a lot of friends. Our thoughts and prayers are
with all of you.
