I COUNT IT A BLESSING TO HAVE KNOWN DAVID. HE WAS A FRIEND TO EVERYONE HE MEET. HE NEVER MEET A STRANGER. HE WILL BE SADLY MISSED BY HIS FAMILY AND TO ALL OF US THAT KNEW HIM HERE AT THE HOSPITAL. IT MADE THE DAY JUST TO SEE HIM BECAUSE YOU KNEW THAT HE WAS GOING TO SAY SOMETHING FUNNY TO GET YOU PICKED UP IF YOU WERE DOWN AND HAVING A BAD DAY. THANK YOU JANICE FOR BRINING DAVID OUR WAY. I PRAY THAT GOD WILL GIVE YOU THE STRENGTH THAT YOU NEED TO GET THREW EACH DAY.

Janice, what a beautiful video. Boy, did that ever spur some memories! How well I remember the cowboy outfit..David, Billy Hopkins, and I all had to have one...and with a 2-gun holster...so we could run around the neighborhood playing cowboy & Indian. When I saw the photo of David in the ball cap I thought I was looking at his grandfather, Pete Furry, again. Hopefully there's a way to save that video.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

I remember David in high school. We weren't close at all, but he is still a part of my past as are all the people I went to school with. Your family are in my prayers.

My thoughts and prayers are with you. My parents ran around with Bud and Viola, so David and I hung around. As we went to Jr. High and High School, we were always seated closely, Dalton-Darrar. And later, Viola and I worked at Bowen Center together. I am so sorry for your lost, but I can tell that you will have a lot of happy memories of David.

David was a very good friend when we were at HTHS. The three musketeers, Lennie, David and Eddie, could always make us laugh and keep us entertained. I have many fond memories of David and our great circle of friends. God bless his family during these very difficult times.

My sympathy to all of David's family.
We went to high school together and I
lived at the bottom of Mill Hill on Raymond Street. So difficult to give
up a loved one. We'll keep all of you
in our prayers.

David was one of my oldest friends. We grew up across from each other on Mill St. in Harrisburg, IL. I had not seen him in many years but will always have many fond and unforgetable memories of him and his mother, his Aunt Dean, Mammer & Pete. Those were wonderful days!
