The world lost a truly genuine, thoughtful and decent person when David passed. I will always remember him for the joy he felt for and provided us all during our family weekends and holidays in Ashfield where he grew up. His added memories made them even more special. I will greatly miss our conversations about family, Western MA, the Patriots and the Red Sox. But most of all his kind smile and calming influence on those he loved. God bless, Mike Noetzel

We will miss you very much. Always there to lend a helping hand, fix something broken or provide guidance. Would come home to find things mysteriously working again. We will miss you very much and will keep you in our thoughts with great memories. Love Rob
