To all family and friends, I am sorry for your loss. Difficult times such as these are made better when we consider Jehovah's comforting words found in the Bible.1 Corinthians 15:26 helps comfort us in knowing that God's Kingdom will bring death to it's end. This is just one of many comforting promises that Jehovah will fulfill. I hope this brings you some comfort during this difficult time.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family at this sad time. At the sheriffs' department we called him Sparky and he was a very well liked and respected deputy. Retired Capt. Charlie Brown

Please accept my sincere condolences on the passing of David. I knew David since about 1953 as we lived in the same neighborhood on Alabama Ave for many years. We had a lot of fun together back in high school and my time at Armstrong College. He would come by and visit me at my dad's Amoco station on President St and we would have a good time talking about current events. He was a great guy and I wish I lived closer so we could have kept up our friendship during my adult life. Rest easy old friend!

My sincere condolences to the family, during this difficult time may you find encouragement from 1 Corinthians chapter 15 an verse 26. At that scripture it tells us that soon death will be done away with for good. That will definitely happen in the very near future.
