And as other have said if your in need and he has it then he was more than willing to do without. You could always see him on his off day driving up and down 29 in his black truck sometimes with someone in the back. We have lost a great person and I know his family has lost a great provider for them. Always a pleasant person to be around.

We lived about half a mile apart , we rode the same bus. Even though the bus would pick us up in front of our house, one of us would walk to the other’s house. Just to enjoy our talk time. We both became interested in cars about the same time. David was always quick to help out with anything. At times neither of us knew what we were doing. We learned what not to do from watching each other. It was comical at times! But it made the best memories. I saw David a few days prior at the county gas pumps. Something told me that I definitely needed to talk with him even though we were in a hurry. I’m so glad I did!!! We talked , and then hugged. That’s the first time we ever did that. The last thing I said to him was please say hello to your mom for me. David and I grew up in the same neighborhood.

But all the Supervisors new that when needed these two were ready to go, just give them a call. Many a night and day they spent clearing trees out of the roads in Escambia County. R.I.P David.
