  1. David was a wonderful Step-Father and Papa to our family….we loved him and cherish all the memories that were created over the years. Holidays, Parties, Hunting, Fishing, Boating, Golfing and always good conversation.
    With much love until we meet again….Keith and Michelle

    • I agree Keith! He was a terrific Stepfather and Papa. We couldn’t have asked for a better person! He loved to have a good time, entertain, sing, tell jokes and stories.
