Janet, Charlie, and Robb, We are so very sorry to hear about David. I'll always remember that little blond boy with sparkling eyes, running the halls of Green Ridge. He was always so much fun. We understand the sorrow of such a great loss and we are praying for each of you. Rest in God's arms and draw on His love and peace.

No words can describe the void left by the passing of a father, a son, a brother or a good friend. Dave was all of these and although it has been some time since our paths have crossed, I am deeply saddened today to hear of the loss of such a warm and fun loving individual. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the entire family.
You'll be missed Dave,
