David was a good guy,salt of the earth. He treated everyone fairly and with respect and was a pleasure to work for He took time to teach me about ithe profession we were in and ways to make things work smoother and more effient. He knew & taught me how to save money and also ways to make it. I will value his input and knowledge, I truly wish I could have had 1 more sit down, David was easy to talk with and was so smart and always had the answer to your question plus more. My heart goes out to Mrs Barbara ,DJ and Davey and the rest of the Ferrara family. David will be.missed and never forgotten .

David was a very loyal husband and brother in law as well as a huge part of our family. He had a great sense of humor and knew when to use it. He will be very missed and fondly remembered.
