David was wonderful and kind and made me feel at ease the moment i met him. I had ironically looked him up on social media a week ago trying to see if I could reconnect and see how his life was going. Unfortunately too late. There will never be a time I will think of him and not smile!! Peace, love and prayers to his family and loved ones.
