IN LOVING MEMORY OF
In loving memory of, Never will there be another; Letting us not forget those, Of who touched our lives forever.
Very much loved and missed, Impossible for words to describe; Nothing is the same, Grief unbearable to hide.
Making the most of each moment Every second really does count, More than anything else, Ones loved always around.
Remember all of the time when, Your memories never far away; Of that someone special will be, Forever in your heart to stay.

Sincere condolences on behave of my entire family. I was a classmate of his younger brother Tim. I came to know David when I sold my 50th Anniversary Harley to him before I left for the Army. Later when I returned from VietNam David did a lot of great carpentry work on my house. He was a true gentleman and a tribute to his family and Calvert County. May Almighty God Bless him and give strength to his family as they carry on. Sincerely, Tim Hutchins
