We are so sorry to hear of the passing if David. He was always a good man. I am speaking for Mike, they were cousins and they grew up together right next door to each other. They had the times of their lives playing and hanging together ❤ Then when they were older a lot of time hunting together. David will be greatly missed. Love, Mike and Carmella.
I know David felt the same. Thanks for being there.
