It is with great sadness that Sandy and I have learned of David's passing. I knew Doc at St. Andrew's High and played many a chess game with him. Spent many enjoyable times with Doc, Nicki, Joe and his parents at the lake house. He was true friend and will be greatly missed. We moved away to New Jersey and stayed in touch over the years. Please accept our sincere condolences at this time of loss.

Dear David, I am so sorry about your dad. I have known him since high school. He has always made me laugh with his dry sense of humor. He will be missed by many people.

Dear David, Nancy and family.

I knew Doc from our college days and he was one of my close friends. When my wife and I moved to Charleston, years back, our friendship grew and our wives, Edy and Renee, became friends as well. The four of us had some good times together while Renee and I were in Charleston up at the Wannamaker's lake house and at Edisto as well.

To know Doc, you had to know and accept his ways, which I did, and I am sure you did as well.

Please accept mine and my wife's most sincerest condolences in your loss of David, "Doc."

With sympathy,
Cecil and Renee Krimminger
