We have lost a fine man,with a great sense of humor and genuine good will.I am sorry that I will be unable to attend the service due to relocation.

It was with great sadness when I read of David's passing. I have fond memories of the years my parents, Joseph and Evelyn Lenzner, were Betsy and David's neighbors on Berkley Place. I know my parents really valued times spent with you, especially the neighborhood New Year's Eve gatherings. After my parent's divorce, my father treasured David's and the entire family's continued friendship. With thoughts and prayers for your family and very fond memories, sincerely, Susan Lenzner Brown

Dear Tiftickjian Family: Wanted to send my condolances to you and to My Aunt Kate! Kate was married to Murray Johnston brother of my Mom. My cousin Jeff and I spent a lot of time banging on the piano in the Tiftickjian house out near UB. It's been too too many years. May the Lord keep you all safe and in comfort.
