Guest Friend of Exturkinator Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 As a good friend of David, I cannot tell how much all of your support has! meant to me. I have read many of the posts since that tragic day and have learned how much you all meant to David and his passion for hunting. I am a physician assistant in the cardiac surgery unit at the University of Michigan. I operate with the residents every single day. We sweat, struggle, laugh and most of all become very close with these find individuals who dedicate their life as cardiac surgeons. I want to share a couple of tidbits about David and work. First of all, ANY extra time he had between cases he could be found reading and posting here at realtree. Sometimes you could hear him laughing and just enjoying himself with all of you. If he wasn't reading the forums here he was constantly playing a song from you tube that he was more than willing to share with all of us over and over. The song is Long Haired Country Boy by Charley Daniels, and the clip is from a show in the late seventies. Here is the link to it. If it doesn't work then just type the title of the song in and you will find it. All I need to do is fire up that song and his face and all the wonderful memories will always be there. My 2 1/2 yr old son has heard it several times and he says for me to put on my favorite song! when it finishes he says again! And we play it over and over. Well thats all I have to say. Thanks. David was a great great great gifted talented person. Words just cannot explain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangerClay Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 Thank you for sharing that with us. I didn't get to know David that well till we became team mates in the Turkey Contest. I could tell then that he was a super guy. Knowing now that he was a big CDB fan like myself, I can see why we connected. Thanks again and feel free to stop by anytime!
