David, we just heard of your passing and it breaks our hearts to hear so late. We know you are no longer in pain any longer and you are at peace. Girls and Kathy, we are so very sorry. He was a loving gentle and quiet man who adored all of you. He was never selfish. He is watching over you girls and know he lives on forever in your heart. We hope you are able to come to NH and remember the good memories shared in that home and as you continue college, know he was so very proud of you both, as we are too. We have been praying for his health and salvation for months but never knew he already parted this temporary home we all have on earth. Now he has eternal peace. This was probably the worst time for you as the holidays are hard but think of all the great memories. I think of all of you daily! I will continually keep you in our prayers and please email me so I can stay in touch with all of you! Love to all of you........Happy Memories and smile, and I remember the pennies too...My mom is gone a year this week so perhaps they have met in heaven and had Christmas together. You be strong for each other, we are a phone call away and we will never forget you ladies, how you all grew up together.......we love and miss you all........love and kisses, Connie,Rich and Christina Allen

David will truly be missed. He lived life for his family.
His girls were the love and heart beat of his life.
Rachael and Danielle, Surround yourself with all the beautiful memories. Remember that the past has made each of you who you are today, your parents, family and friends are VERY PROUD of both of you. The future is in your hands, lean on us and keep us in your life. We love you both !! It's OK to cry and feel sad. Your Dad will always be in your heart, he will always be with you. Look for the signs, remember what I told you about the pennies.
Kathleen, David was a lucky man to have you in his life. You're my BFF, I too am very thankful and blessed to have you in my life. I will always be there for you and the girls, a cell phone call away.
--
Always!
Deborah, Jose and Christina Alvarez

David was a great man and a wonderful Father. He will live on forever through Rachael and Danielle. Although it's hard to believe now girls, the time will come when you may think of him with a smile instead of a tear. You will see him in your own children and know that his soul has never left you. He will watch over you both for eternity. Kathy, David, Rachael and Danielle... you will always be a family. We love you all and cherish all the beautiful memories we have together.

Love,

The Gass Family

David died as he lived with a quiet but profound strength and dignity. His love, passion and sacrafice for his children knew no bounds, and no child could be more fortunate to know such a loving, patient, dedicated and caring father. He was the kindest and most patient man I have ever know, a wonderful friend and father who gave of himself to those he loved. His passing represents a loss of supreme magnitude
and he wiill be deeply missed.
