David and joined the Air Force together. We're in boot camp together . As years passed we lost contact with each other. Our times together were great. Condolences to his family and friends! My his eternal journey be as great as his stay on this earth.

I remember the day so well that David escaped from his hip/leg sling that he was in for quite a ling time at Central School. Was so happy for him and know that he must have had a wonderful life, judging from Freddie's comments.
