Was thinking fondly of the good times in Hyde Park and days at Boston Tech HS. Dave and I and the the rest of his family became close and had so many laughs and adventures as teenagers. I´ll always smile when I remember that huge smile and mischievous personality of Dave. Thanks for the memories my brother in Christ. Rich Smigliani

I cant believe it has been 10 years. I always think about David and the talks we had while working at gillette stadium. We talked alot about our belief in God. I really miss him. I remember our last day working together. He was cold so i told him to keep warm in his car and i would cover for him.
