Our hearts are touched by the sudden passing of David. Our times of being with you were only a few but his quiet and calm spirit was evident. We love the son you raised. Davy is dear to us. This body must go “the way of all the earth” but David’s legacy of integrity and faith will continue to impact others on into the future. May God bless your hurting hearts.

To Shirley and family members: Nancy and I were shocked and saddened to hear of the passing of a great guy, a friend and someone who I spent many years growing up with in Trumann. We attended his mother and fathers funeral as well as his brothers. It's been many years since those days, but his fond memory will be with both of us forever. God bless him.

We are so sorry for the pain and heartache you are feeling. I had the honor of meeting Mr. Moore a few times when he came to Ohio to visit Dave jr and the boys. Dave jr always lights up telling me about his dad, and the deer hunting stories are my favorite.
I know he was a good God fearing man that loved his friends, family and our country.

Shirley and family, oh how hear-breaking was the news of David's passing. Another part of my past I had only recently re-connected with is gone. I loved when David greeted me at Valley View as "Sister", recollections the way my actual brother would stretch it out. I cannot imagine your sadness. He was a sweet, sweet man. God bless all of you.
