Didn't get to say goodbye to both my cousins, David and Dale, but have so many good memories of those long ago times in Toronto.

My wife and I got to know David six years ago as an efficient dynamic businessman. Then we found out that he also had many other absorbing interests, great humor, and a caring personality. He was an inspiring exemplary gentleman - in work, in life, and in the way he bore with his illness. We will never forget him.

David was a warm and friendly person. We shared many a laugh to-
gether and enjoyed playing golf
with our other friend Robert. He is
in a better place now and we will
miss him. May he rest in peace.

David was my uncle and I will always cherish the times we spent together on the holidays, at the athletic club and at his wonderful East Hampton home. He was and will remain a big part of my life.
