I met David on Valentine’s Day 1969. David shared with me about having a personal relationship with the Lord by being born again as found in John 3. That day John 3:16 became real to me “For God so loved Larry, that He sent His only begotten son into the word so that when Larry believes in Him should not perish, but should have everlasting life.” That day changed the projectory of my life. I will be forever grateful for that day and for David’s friendship throughout the years.

I met David in late 2015. He was a great friend at a time that I didn’t have any. He did a lot of Bible studies at my home, and I got to share the day after Thanksgiving with him and his wife (Ruth). I’m sorry that she doesn’t have David with her now after being together for so long, and now he is not there. I’m really sorry for that, Ruth.
