Steve(Bubba)and I first met David and Linda when our friend Steve Payton took us
and we rode down on our motorcycles and we stayed with them. David was gracious and
welcoming to us as friends of his son. He made us feel at home...not strangers. Since that stay, we always looked forward to seeing David and Linda when they visited Steven in Ohio. Such a good man! He will be missed. It was an honour to know him.
