Tom ( and class)
 
Thanks for all of the support. Lynn and I are certainly in shock but have been supported by an amazing response from family, friends, West Point, and the entire Army Rugby family.
 
Here is the text of the obituary to appear in the local papers here in Indiana. It includes a memorial service this Saturday.
 
I have included a picture from the Rugby team bar pinning ceremony following graduation.  David lived life to the fullest and will continue to touch all that he knew for the rest of our lives.
