I worked with David at Long John Silvers in 1985. He actually hired me as a cook and we became good friends along the way. I have since moved away from Georgia but I will always remember him as being a kind person with a strong desire to succeed. His work ethic was unmatched. God bless to David, Debra, and his entire family.

David was the sweetest man! I was so happy he was our neighbor when we bought the house across the street. David welcomed us with open arms and a whole lot of dogs which made my heart really happy. We both shared a love for dogs. I will cherish the happy memories of David and his precious family. Until I see you again my sweet friend . I love you and I will continue to love your family!
