David and Maryellen were great friends to me and sue. i've known david since about 1979 when i started working down the duxbury water front. david became good friends with my father, and then later with me and my wife. we hung out with them every new years and they always invited us into their home for every holiday. in a short time, we've lost to very close friends. we will miss you both. hopefully you are together again in a better place-- Gary and Sue Davis
