Honoring the Life of David Stock
October 23, 1955 - January 2, 2012
David Stock represented the best of humanity: faith, love, compassion, and generosity. Throughout his life, David generously supported faith-based organizations, the arts, schools, and humanitarian service non-profit agencies. He and the love of his life, Glenda, shared their time, treasure, and talent to make our community a better, kinder, happier place to live. The Board of Directors, employees and volunteers of the American Red Cross of Central Louisiana celebrate David's life and are honored that the family has asked that donations, in lieu of flowers, be made to support the work of the American Red Cross of Central Louisiana.

Many have worked 14 hour (or longer) shifts, several days in a row now. Even now, 3 volunteers are at the shelter, and 2 will stay all night until a team relieves them Monday at 6 AM. We need more volunteers for tomorrow, Monday night, and Tuesday. You may be the one we need, or you may know the ones we need. Please help spread the word by forwarding this message to your contacts.
This has been a tragic, awesome, heartbreaking, challenging, tender, touching, exhausting, and inspiring weekend.
Tragic: More than 40 people have lost a place they considered home, a place that for many was the thin line before homelessness.
Awesome: At least 30 volunteers traded their weekends off, sleep, leisure, and family time to face heat and hard work-and found joy ...
