On behalf of the Directors & Staff of the Burbank Ice Arena I would like to extend my sincere condolences to David on the passing of his wife Brenda. It was a tossup each Friday whether we would see the "Go Blue" Michigan baseball hat or David's broad smile first as he arrived to his weekly skate (and sometimes more than weekly). May Brenda rest in peace and David find comfort in the many friends he has made since he returned to his Reading roots.
