I went to school with David at Boyd County and worked with him on the railroad as a brakeman and conductor and engineer. I just want to say he was a good friend and will miss him. I pray that God will give you strength and love during these times and wrap his arms around you and yours.

We are going to miis Dave, but I know that Dave lived his life to the best. It is going to be hard hard coming to ashland to visit, Dave and the Isaccs Family was always one of my reasons for coming home to visit. Telling the war stories and the Bull Shit stories, along with the phone calls. We love him and we are going to miss him. Now I know he is doing what ever he wants while he is sitting there making fun of us.
