It’s with great sadness but also a great joy to hear of David’s passing. David was a good friend who will be missed by all who knew him. We all will miss his stories and jokes but we also know that he’s in the presence of the Lord of Lord’s and King of kings. See you at the house when my journey down here is finished my brother and friend.
