David Lorency was a friend of over 42 years. I served on his boards in Chicago Metro, had him preach a revival at Houma, Louisiana. Dave was very instrumental in my gong to Torrance, Ca & after coming to Kings Mountain 23 years ago, Dave helped me start Earthen Vessels. Operation Compassion has been a great resource in product, advice & counsel, not to mention friendship.The word unique is far too overused. It means one of a kind, unequaled. I can truly say that word describes my friend David Lorency. I've never met anyone like him, because I'm convinced there is no one like him. His gifts were immense fueled by his compassion.
