I will always have such great memories of Dave: taco parties, beach runs in the black van with the families, his screaming "ya hooooo". He was the first to help, the last to leave, and the most fun to be with. He was one of the first persons to befriend me when I moved into the old apartment building in Boca. He helped raise Chaitra and Cole (Uncle Day Day). He was one of the kindest people I ever knew and I will always have great memories of him. I know in heaven that he is cooking up some salsa and having some laughs with my Aunt Jane.
Love Megan, Chaitra, Cole, and Grandma Pat

To all of our children with my love and prayers. My special friend, David, has always had a special place in my heart for over 50 years. I asked him to save me a place up there, but not too soon. He will be in my prayers, daily.
