Happy Birthday David










My mom married a wonderful man on May 23, 1998. They've had a great time together these last 11 years. They have traveled around the world and have seen some wonderful sights. They've gone on a few cruises and they have enjoyed each other very much. Mom met David in Arizona and they hit it right off. They've enjoy playing tennis together and have played on many teams, competing in lots of tournaments. Our kids have yet to win a game against Mom and David! They have enjoyed playing card games, doing the daily puzzle in the newspaper and they have especially enjoyed dancing over the years. David is a great dancer and he and Mom have had a great time together.
David has six children and many grandchildren. He sings well and his children and many of his grandchildren have beautiful singing voices. He enjoys music and knows lots of good ole tunes. He turned 80 years old last year and his family had a great big party for him at Bear Lake to celebrate his life. It was fun to attend and to wish him well. He is a kind hearted man who has been a great companion for my Mom over all these years. They served a mission together at the London temple and Rick and I were able to visit them and travel around England for two weeks with them while they were serving there. Those are great memories I'll always cherish.
He celebrates his birthday and Father's day all on one day - June 21.
Best wishes to you David on your birthday. Thanks for being such a good companion and husband for my Mom. Even though you've had some health challenges and have had to slow down some, I enjoy talking to you and appreciate your kind and gentle ways. You're easy to love and I appreciate you very much.
