Lake Rabun was our shared treasure.
I will always love my friendship with you at our Moose Mansion. Save me a spot with you in heaven🙏💓
Love. Margie
David, I look forward to being neighbors again in eternity. I’ll miss our conversations as you walked by my house on your way to the park.
You are one of the kindest people I have ever known. As your neighbor at Lake Rabun I watched you tireless tow skiers, entertain guests and lovingly work on your beautiful home. You were a role model for me. I will miss your smile and that cute chuckle. I know you are looking down on us now, for if anyone ever deserved to be in heaven, it is you.
David, I have been thankful for you in my life for over 60 years. Your kindness and gentleness helped me stay grounded during my teen years in Macon. You and Kate helped me laugh and stay sane as we all moved through time. The thought of you has always and will always warm my heart. Love love love
David, I have been thankful for you in my life for over 60 years when you and Ralph came down to welcome me to the neighborhood. Oh the kindness, the giggles, the adventures we shared. You have and will continue to live in my heart.
Picture of David above is great, the smile, the back ground, he loved the water. Every minute I ever spent with David was great, never a bad time, he had a good vibe and it was contagious. Lots of good memories. I loved David just like everyone who ever met him.
We grew up as three boys next door to three girls and we loved each other for all of those years. We laughed and cried together. We even saved each other when necessary. I hope that you and Donald and John will meet me when my turn comes. I look forward to seeing your precious face always full of love. Your loving Big sister next door neighbor,
Tatie
My dear neighbor David, you are greatly missed. It’s hard to believe we won’t have more fun chats over our fence and hear about all your adventures,… and that sweet chuckle of yours! You were such a treasure. That Blue Iris you gave us 12 years ago because it bloomed in your garden the very day my son was born? It keeps blooming like clockwork, every year. What a wonderful way this will be to remember you. Thank you for everything! Rest in peace, sweet neighbor.

One of the kindest and most giving people I ever had the pleasure to know. It was my great honor and fortune to have been your friend.
