David was a truly good man. A man of God, and a living testimony. I had the great good fortune to call him friend, and bought and distributed many of his crosses.

I met grandpa at my in laws house in salt lake city, utah. He had a warming personality and was sharp and witty. Over the years he sent us many of his carvings. I will treasure the keepsakes that he made for us. The wooden cross is an exceptional example of his craftsmanship. Rest east grandpa
