David Singletary,

SINGLETARY, Jr., David B., our wonderful daddy, went home to heaven to be with the Lord, on September 14, 2011, and is well and at peace after a courageous battle with lung cancer. David was born on March 28, 1929. David’s family and friends will miss his quick wit, his gift with a grill, his wonderful cooking, and his enormous hugs. He never met a stranger. His contagious smile lit up his corner of the world. David retired from Alabama Metal Industries. David served our country during the Korean War, as member of the Pilipino Infantry in the 955th Field Artillery. He was a member of the Masonic Lodge. He served his Lord as a deacon of Glennwood Baptist Church, where he had attended since childhood. David was preceded in death by his loving wife of 58 years, Betty Lou Booker Singletary. David leaves behind his loving children, Cynthia Singletary Densmore and her husband C. Randall Densmore, Morris, AL, and Lyvonnia Singletary Poppell and her husband Samuel W. Poppell, Jr., Montgomery, AL; five devoted grandchildren, Haley Densmore Allen (Nick Allen), Ryan Lance Densmore, Aubri Michelle Poppell, Samuel W. Poppell, III (Trey) and Natalie Blair Poppell; two brothers, Bert Singletary and Ernest Singletary; one sister, Arlene Comer and numerous nieces and nephews. His parents, David B. and Lois Glenn Singletary; a sister, Rachel Borella, and a brother Earl Singletary, preceded him in death. David was a resident of Morris, Alabama.
