Cindy and the MacQuinn family, I am speechless to hear of David's passing. He and I were such very good friends in the earlier years of high school. We used to drive all around in the International Scout of his dads, and ask my mom for money for gas. He was a great friend and will be missed so much, my thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time. Love to all, Tim

Cindy and MacQuinn family, I am very sorry for your loss. My memmories are from when we were younger. All of us cousins would go to Grandma and Grandpa Fleming's farm for a family visit or the holidays. It was always David,Kevin,Bobby,Lynne and Pam ,Kenny and Karen.We had some good times together. As we grew up we all drifted in different directions.I am sorry we didn't keep in touch. From what I could see when I saw you all last was that David was a loving husband,caring father,and a proud Grandpa. He will always be in my memmories as a wonderful cousin who I enjoyed seeing at the farm or at Aunt Janice and Uncle Mac's house.
