I briefly knew David as I bought a house from him on the east side of Lansing. I found him to be a very friendly person, one who was also hardworking. He will surely be missed by those that he helped with home ownership.

I know David as Spike. He lived with my parents for a while when he was little (Jo and Herbert Berner). He had red hair that was always cut short. I am so sorry that he is gone. I have thought of him and his sister often.

God Bless his family.
