We just learned of David's passing. He was the finest neighbor one could ever hope to live near. He was always willing to assist us when called upon. We will truly miss him. To David's family, please take care of his little dog.

So sorry for the loss of your son, David. It is never easy to let our children go. Sounds though that he lived a good life and enjoyed himself. Aunt Louise said to tell you she is thinking of you also. We will be praying for your family.
