i truly appreciate the experience as a deck hand on the shrimp boat. The Blessing of the Fleet was an awesome experience only few get to experience. His last words to me were "You are always welcome here" relating to my last visit in Yulee, Fla. My thoughts and prayers go out to my mom Catherine as well as his mentioned family. I am Thankful that he took under his wing my sister Debbie and taught her a shrimping trade . I also appreciate him taking under his wing my Great Nephew Owen and taught him hunting. I know David will be missed much. Marie
