Words cannot express all the feelings and descriptions I have for David. He was a cousin I will never forget. When David moved to SC he lived with our mother and there was never a dull moment. He enjoyed life and lived it with his whole being. David was very funny and always made you laugh. David worked hard and played hard. I have special memories of David and I while we were growing up together in Maine and also when we got back together in South Carolina. David was a great cook. I thoroughly enjoyed it when he cooked for me during a time when I was healing from a serious car accident. My thoughts and prayers are with Marie and family during this difficult time.
