David Ring was one of the most fantastic people I've ever met in my entire life. Thanks to him at a BC dance, I sweated out and ruined a new Villager shirtwaist dress. Best 20 dances I ever had! He actually taught me how to dance! Trustworthy and funny as all get out, it seemed like he was the very best guy in high school. Cute too. God bless you Diane. Out of all his dance cards, he chose YOU! Boy did HE ever luck out! I know how much you will miss him. What a guy! xo ~Nancy Heffernan

May he rest in peace. I remember David from the Thunderbolt Teen Dances. David loved to dance and he was a great dancer. One of his favorite dance song was My Girl. David grew up in the neighborhood near my brother-in-law Keith Wyatt. He was a classmate from Savannah High School. David's college years at Brunswick Georgia were also memorable. David was always the life of the party he knew how to make people laugh and enjoy themselves. The last time I saw David was at the Savannah High School Reunion. He will truly be missed. I know he is dancing in heaven. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family. Edna Murrin Johnson and Family

I was in a popular Savannah band when I met David. He was always the first up to dance, when we played at teen clubs. He ran off a group of high school bullies, in the hall at Sav'h High, one school day. They didn't like my long hair, until David walked up and said I was his friend. All of a sudden, they didn't think my hair was so bad. Big man, inside and out. Miss you David!

Dear Diane and family, We cannot tell you the sorrow we feel for your loss, a true lover of life in every sense of the word, David loved everyone and if he did't he didnt' let it show. A true showman for every cause to raise money for charity and people in need and not afraid to let others know that being human is just a part of life. We will cherish our memories of this loveable character that you got to call your own, and pray that you have peace past your grief to cherish this light that was here only for a little while. Praying for you all, Diane, Bobby, Ernie, and families. With much Love. Rick and Deb

We will miss you, brother. You told me when we were at Hall's visitation that your mama was there in Heaven to meet him at the gate. Well, I know that your mama was there for you. We'll be home soon. We love you. - Larry and Paula and the Branson bunch
