I am so sorry for your loss and will miss seeing David at the Special Olympic skating events. He so kindly always took pictures of my athlete, Mary. We are glad to have known him and send you strength and energy to carry on.

My uncle and godfather,taken too soon, He has given you rest. His has plans for your retirement. I came to appreciate your wit, stories of camping excursions, and teasing. Mandy and Michael are lucky to have had you as their father, to be their number one advocate and teacher in many things. I know you will be up in heaven looking down on them with the same protection.

Geri, Michael, and Mandy, we are so very sorry for your loss. David was a fixture at the Special Olympics Games, and his presence will be sorely missed. I always looked forward to conversing with him, and seeing the wonderful photos he captured. He was one of the good ones! You are all in our thoughts in this difficult time and always.
