Not able to get any further information on this accident through news media.
David is my son, and yes he was 63 and just a few short years from retiring.
His loving wife is a full blown diabetic, they live alone and please pray for his family.
Oh my, I’m so sorry to read about this. Prayers of comfort for family and friends.
