why should i tell you of myself. if i tell you my life
would you still read my words. so its up to you to
figure me out. read my poems. see the history
of the best and worst in my life. i have worked in federal govt. state govt. I served in the military
as a Platoon Sergeant and a Warrant Officer.
********The following is a note from Rustynite's son, Christopher********
I am sad to say that my wonderful father has moved on from this world...he passed comfortably at 1:40 am this morning, the 13th of November...I know that everyone here meant a great deal to him and I want to thank you all for bringing such joy to his life...may God bless you all and may his spirit remain with you...
Rest in Peace, Dad...you were a soldier and a poet...one of the rarest and most beautiful combinations of hearts...you will be dearly missed...

Talking Toni : I AM SO SORRY!!!! on November 13, 2008I didn't realize this was from David's son...I thought it was David saying his father had passed on...please forgive me...I had many conversations and read many of David's poems...I know he was a Christian and is with the Lord now...He touched many including myself with his words of wisdom, wit and love...He will be incredibly missed....~~~Toni~~~

dustookie2 : SMILE on November 13, 2008There are no words that can be spoken that can sum up the man we know as Rustynite my friend 'moses' the poet of 'The Trade" and 'Dave's Place'
My dear friend you are now the Dave working Dave's Place with god the dog and all the heavenly visitors. My tears are my sorrow at losing such a brilliant man from this life we share. I am proud and so blessed to call you my friend. You always stood tall and proud living you life as an example. For all your family, your mother, your wife Estelle your sons your grandchildren (Pawpaw) not forgetting the cousin you spent so much time with John.... and all those you have touched in life have you locked in their hearts my friend. It is time now for you to walk with God. Thank you moses for being you.
