I met Dave on my first day of working for Citizens Bank 5 years ago. I was a teller for the Providence Place Mall Branch and he was my courier. Always smiling and always with kind words to say, Dave will be dearly missed by his friends and colleagues at Citizens. My condolences to all of his family and friends.

As a member of the Citizens Bank women's softball team, I always appreciated seeing David on the sidelines when we had games. It really meant a lot to the team when he would come watch us. My sympathies go out to his family during this difficult time.

My Memories of Mr. Cousins,
(The name I always called him)
Always had a handshake, pat on the back and a big smile when I saw him and would ask, "How is the family?" I felt at home when I was there on friday nights for supper. He would make this great cup of coffee w/ his press machine. Great times at Ipping,NH, Limerock and car shows. Always showed interest when I asked questions about his jewelry-making job. It is life's many mysteries (why?), May the Lord give you strength in your journey ahead.
Love Always,
Mr. Metivier (what he would always call me)
