We would like to send you our sympathies for the loss of David. I am David's cousin Ken G. We grew up with him and his brothers and sisters, but haven't seen him for many years. His brother Kent let us know about his failing health and the loss of his legs a few months ago. We had not idea he had been so ill. Our prayers are with all family members at this time of loss. As children we had lots of fun together with David and his brothers and sisters. at their Lindon home. We look forward to seeing several of you at the Memorial Service in American Fork. My father is Kenneth C who is Cecils brother. Kenneth C is in a care center in Farmington and can't travel as far as American Fork. He is preparing for cataract surgery next week. He is 90 and will be 91 in Sept.

My wife, Carol, and I were shocked and saddened to hear of Dave's passing. We were very good friends for many years. Dave and I met in high school and have been good friends ever since. He was like a brother to me, since I come from a family of girls. While we lost contact in the last few years, we thought and talked of him many times. We will miss him but will have many fond memories. He was a positive influence in our lives. We send our love, thoughts and prayers to the family in the loss of this very special person.

I am so sorry to hear of David's illness and passing. My husband, Lynn, and I extend our heartfelt sympathy to all his loved ones. My Dad was Kenneth C., Cecil's brother, so David was my cousin. I'm sorry we have not been in contact for many years; but my childhood memories include vivid,happy memories of Thanksgiving dinner with my Bullock cousins and I love you all and wish the best to you and all your families.
