I too was a classmate of David's at St Joe's School in Williston. I have fond memories of David from those days long ago. And my husband, Lynn, remembers pick-up basketball games in the neighborhood in junior high. Our sympathies and prayers are with you at this sad time.

To The Hughes Family:
I had the pleasure of going to school with Dave for many years back in his hometown. He was a good soul, always seeming to carry a smile and a pleasant way. Though I've not known much of his post-high school days, I'm sure he brought goodness to all who knew him.
Rest In Peace, David.
