David, 'lil brother, tomorrow, March 5th, will be 42 years since the evil coward took you from us. I know you loved being s law enforcement officer and I'm so proud of that. I wish I had told you more often how much I loved you. I do know the moment you took your last breath, the Angels were there to take you to Heaven and I will see you there some day. Love you

I went through the Police Academy at Polk Community College in Winterhaven, Florida with Dave in 1977. Dave was lots of fun to be around and was a real asset to his department. The circumstances he encountered that morning were a million to one, but they happen. RIP brother.

I met David in his line of duty. He used to come with myself and my son Michael on court ordered visitation. I was so surprised how young David was. He was a kind, nice decent guy. My son was only 4 years old but took a liking to David. David told me he sometimes worked with his father on days off. At that time I worked for my dad. This is so sad, it brought/brings tears to my eye when I first read what had happened. I lived in Miami 200 miles away, back then there was no internet. I had heard a rumor that a young Frostproof officer was killed back then but it wasn’t David the name was Henry. This hurts me so much. I think about his new wife, his parents and all the potential he had. I know what it’s like to lose a son. My only child Michael passed away last year. He committed suicide after a confrontation with his mother. Michael was always trying to get something from his mother. LOVE. She lacked compassion and was never able to give him a mothers LOVE he so desperately needed.
That Frostproof Police Department played a big role in helping me get custody of Michael to which I will always be so very grateful.
David, please watch over Michael or maybe he will watch over you. This is such a tragedy and so unfair. I hope that someday they will get the person that caused it.

God Bless Michael and David.

"The Badge"
He starts his shift each day
To respond to calls unknown.
He drives a marked patrol car.
A police officer he is known.
He's paid by the citizens' taxes
To make it safe on the streets.
But he usually has a second job
'Cause a waitress has his salary beat.
Now he doesn't know a holiday
'Cause he works all year round.
And when Thanksgiving and Christmas finally arrive
At his home he cannot be found.
He's cursed and assaulted often,
The one whos blood runs blue.
He seldom ever gets a thanks,
To some he's just a fool.
His friends are always other cops
'Cause people just don't understand
That underneath his badge and gun,
He's just another man.
He knows there might not be a tomorrow
In this world of drugs and crime.
And he gets so mad at the court system
'Cause the crooks don't get any time.
And each day when he leaves for work,
He prays to God above.
Please bring me home after my shift
So I can see the ones I love.
But tonight he stops a speeding car,
He's alone down this ole' highway.
It's just a little traffic infraction.
He does it everyday.
Well, he walks up to the driver's window,
And his badge is shining bright.
He asked the guy for a driver's license,
When a shot rang through the night.
Yes, the bullet hit its mark,
Striking the officer in the chest.
But the Department's budget didn't buy
Each officer a bullet-proof vest.
So he lay on the ground bleeding.
His blood wasn't blue - His blood was red.
And briefly he thought of his loved ones
'Cause in a moment the officer was dead.
In the news they told the story
Of how this officer had died.
And some who listened cared less,
But those who loved him cried.
Well, they buried him in uniform
With his badge pinned on his chest.
He even had his revolver,
He died doing his best.
