Q: What was one of your favorite qualities of David?
A: David was one of the most giving and free hearted people I’ve ever met he gave my daughter Gabrielle a beautiful dollhouse he spent over 700 hours making; he gifted a train set to my son Jacob and decided to give me a Kennedy rocker (with the exception I would never sell it til after he passed.) I’m here to say that rocker will never be sold and it’ll be even more precious and dear to my heart. I sure will miss David and I wish I could have seen him more and made him one more huge batch of my bbq that he sure did love. I had no idea he would be gone so soon but I am comforted in knowing he’s no longer suffering and reunited with Rusty. He sure loved his dog. We will meet again until we do rest easy my friend.
David was one of the best brothers you could want. Now at times, he let me know he was one and a half years older and that put me in my place.
As we grew older, we worked together on many construction jobs as a team. Once you get over thirty,one and a half years is nothing.
I am going to miss our phone calls. We would talk for hours about growing up. I don’t have anyone left to talk about the early days.
Rest Dave, you are not in pain now. I will see you on the other side.
Your brother,
Tommy
