Rena,We are so sorry for your loss. He leaves a lot of friends who will miss him too. I am so glad I was able to be at our class reunion and get to visit with you both.
David was always a friend
God Bless you and your family.
I am deeply saddened and so sorry to hear of the passing of David Treat. I worked with him through Tennessee Stave LLC over the past five or six years. I enjoyed talking with David and laughing at his dry sense of humor. He became very special to me during that time. My deepest sympathy to the family.
So sorry to hear of David's passing. He was a good friend and I always enjoyed visiting with him. Now I wish I had done more of it. This is a lesson to enjoy friends while you have them.
Sad to hear of David's passing on. He was a first-class man, straight- forward, always treated people right, always ready to help out someone in need. Our world is a better and happier place for his having lived in it. May God comfort and bless you during this time of extreme sorrow. Harlie & Mary Treat
