S. Hubbard wrote a sympathy message

“Deepest Sympathies, David and I were friends through RCSD. I rode Patrol a State Constable with David quite a bit in R3. David was a quiet man but always the thinker, extremely smart and articulate he methodically handled every call for duty with ease. I will always recall our time on patrol and his leadership--training --knowledge & skills over the SC State Constables SRT team that he led. He was an extremely good-caring man one I miss always with a smile on his face. Sincerely, S. Hubbard”
