To my dear friend, Dee. You and Dave were always special friends, you specifically because I knew you before you knew Dave . I was even a little worried in the beginning because he was a railroader lol. Oh did he prove me wrong. I’m so grateful that you married someone so amazing who provided a good life for you and David. He was a good father to all of his children as they were all special to him. I know you will miss him dearly. I know God will give you the strength to move forward until you meet him again. I love you bunches.

I remember David from high school. He was a good guy and he was fun to be around. I knew he was a railroader and my Dad knew him from Willard Shops. My condolences to Dave’s family and friends.
