We miss Grandpa David... the fun, the laughter, the silly jokes, the cartoon drawings, the eye-ball cereal...

I met Dave in the 6th grade and remained good friends with him through school and beyond. I will always remember his constant good humor, kindness and great smile. He will be missed.
My deepest condolences to his family.
