I will always have fond memories of David growing up. We shared a lot of 'firsts' together. I remember the 'path', summer holiday in Maine, fishing in Canada, and the trouble that only David could find. He packed a full life into a short period of time. Rest in peace.

Though i hadn't been in touch for many years, David was a close childhood friend for many years and for that i'll always be grateful. If the measure of a man's life is the number of people whose lives a person touched and how many friends a person has made, David lived a full and meaningful life. The Maillet family has always been very strong and close, i hope all the love David gave throughout his life will return to you and carry you for many years to come. Gerard Richard

Patti, Brigitte and Kaden,
We are so sad to hear of Dave's (papa's) passing. Dante loved going over and wrestling with Dave. You could see how happy Dave was that Kaden and Dante enjoyed the time they spent with him. It wont be the same watching Kaden play hockey without Dave there rooting him on, he was so proud of him.
We are so fortunate to have called him our friend. Our deepest condolences.

David always called me "Joanie Darlin"..
I miss him, but i have so many memories that i will revisit often that will bring a smile to my face..
He was an amazing brother and husband to Patti, but to see him with Kaden you saw the joy that little boy brought into Dave's life.
Rest in peace David...
