Gary W. Henderson wrote a sympathy message

“"Uncle David" was very kind to me when he first came in to my life years ago. I saw how much family meant to g him when I married in to the family. He and my wife Erin ( his niece, daughter of Shannon) were great friends and David adored our children. I remember all the jokes he shared and his love for his dogs. While I never had the privilege of meeting Shannon, my "uncles" David, Jack and she are missed by all.”
