Aunt Geri, Sharon, Deah, and Janice I was shocked to learn about David's passing. We were in Fl when my mom called with the sad news. At that time arrangements were not complete and we didn't have time to get back to Syracuse for the services. I have so many memories of all of us as kids. Again so sorry for your loss
