It was only today, 7 February, that I found out that David had passed away. My thoughts and prayers go out to Annette, David, and the rest of his family.

I have many memories of David and the Gissell family, as I grew up on the same street and attended the same schools. He will be missed by all of us.

To Steven, Annette, and all of David's family. I was so very sorry to hear of David's passing. David and I attended grammar school at St. Pat's and high school at Bishop England together. In grade school, all the girls had a crush on David, myself included! I remember him sitting behind me in one of our classes and he would pull on my pigtails! Last got to talk to David 6 years ago when I was in Charleston for my Mom's funeral. It was good to see him after so many years. Again, my deepest sympathy to all of you. Rest in peace David.

Timmy and I have so many memories of David.Oyster Roast in his backyard, Christmas partys at his house,helping Timmy wallpaper our kitchen, or shagging up a storm. I like to think he is now dancing,laughing and of coarse with a beer in his hand. I will never forget his laughter!! He loved his family!!
