We are sad to share that Brother David Britton and his wife, Barbara, passed away last month. David was a long-time member of the Garfield Camp, serving many years as the camp treasurer and Barbara was active in the Eliza Garfield Auxiliary. We will miss them greatly and our thoughts and prayers are with their son, Brother Mark, and the rest of the Britton Family.
