1 Jul 2021I met David when my sister, Randa, was dating Sharon Graybill’s brother, Rickie Jackson. I was 12 years old and David and Sharon were always so kind to me and to our family. David was such a kind, optimistic man. We thought the world of him and his family. My husband, David Snyder, also met him when he was a little boy, and David was just as kind to my husband. He was a blessing to this world and one of those people you could never forget because his personality and his goodness were bigger than life. Sincerest condolences to the family and friends. Love, David and Kim Snyder
