David and I spent many hours together as volunteers in the Service to the Armed Forces division of the American Red Cross. David was something special; he set the bar for others. He volunteered to serve the veterans and did any job that was asked of him. I have fond memories of David and will miss him.
I was shocked when I saw David's obit in the newspaper. I went with him when he went to Charleston, WV to finish his paperwork for the Navy. I dated him off and on until we went our separate ways. He was a kind and sweet man, giving. I will miss knowing him, and to think he and his family lived close to my daughter, now.
My deepest condolences to the family, and prayers.
David was a good man, volunteering much of his time to help others. I and many others will miss him.
I met David through a chance Facebook post and realized he lived near Kingsport where my dad had recently relocated. My next trip I had the good fortune of meeting David for lunch and a great conversation about our similar beliefs. It was a memory I'll always cherish. My deepest condolences to his family.
