  2. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, Michael. I hope you can find some comfort in knowing how David's love of life and the Royal Game enriched the lives of others, especially the children. It is clear from the beautiful photo you posted that David had a gift for bringing a smile to a child's face, and those children will surely continue his legacy. With sincere condolences, Bob

  5. On behalf of my family, I am thunderstruck by this terrible news. I was just put on a Facebook group with David last month, so he was "new-news" to me. I cannot believe this, but I can offer my prayers and utmost condolences. ---Ken
