Rest in peace Dave. I just learned of your passing and I wish to offer my condolences to your family. We had our differences, but as gentlemen we were able to forgive and forget. You were a good neighbor, and a friend. May God bless you.

Nancy, Jan and Chuck,
Sorry to hear of your loss. My mom Carolyn Thompson Currier has fond memories of her cousins David and Nancy. I too remember him and was glad to have seen him several years ago, at Highland Lake, at one of the 'cousin reunions'. Thinking of you all.
