LYNCHBURG -David L. Griffith age 65 of Lynchburg died Wednesday, March 21, 2018 at the home of his daughter in Blanchester. He worked for the Jim Mootz Trucking company for over 25 years. “We are all very close with each other. The trucks in the video are co-workers of his and friends in the trucking industry who all wanted to give him a proper escort to his resting place. His casket was carried by his semi on the trailer he pulled every day,” said Jr Vearil.
“He had worked for our family business Jim Mootz trucking out of Fayetteville, Ohio for 25+ years. He worked seven days a week; he has over 2,000,000 miles under his belt of driving. (He’s a) very hard-working, man family oriented man.
He dedicated his life to trucking, he even worked when he was sick, taking cancer treatment and come in the afternoon and drive – very, very tough man.
Trust me he deserved every bit of the respect shown. He fought cancer and still worked and has worked his whole life,” said Vearil.
“He was a pretty awesome person you knew where you stood with him. He was with us here for 25 years everyone looked up to him that knew him.
The show of support and honor for David was well deserved, cancer took him away from us way to early. He was just an all around a good guy. I learned so much from him and respected him so he will never be forgotten promise you that,” said Phil “plowboy” Maxwell.

This design is spectacular! You certainly know how to keep a reader entertained.
Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost…HaHa!) Great job.
I really enjoyed what you had to say, and more than that, how you presented it.
Too cool!
