I worked with David for 23 years at Cranston. We were always laughing and cutting up there. I worked on the jacks with Bud Baily and then on the screen print machine for a while. I’m so sorry to hear of David’s passing. I will be praying for the family. May GOD give you strength and comfort you. Jeff Parks, Helena, Montana
