David's family was so pleased with his personal, dental and church friends who visited him often the last 27
months. You made his days worth living the last two years. Today David is healthy and in the joyful presence of
Jesus his Savior.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial donations to be made to First Assembly Church, to Calvary
