I first met this wonderful family years ago when I worked at the restaurant in Hamden. We had to put the food for take out in 2 separate boxes for Larry and Davey so they would not fight over who was going to carry it across the yard to their house. A few short years later I was lucky enough to marry in to this family as extended cousins. I remember Dave stopping to chat one night, proudly telling us he got saved and invited us to go to church with his family at Puritan. We did and enjoyed sitting behind them, and when Lis was born and we took her to church the first time Dave held her the whole service. Family reunions Dave Suzi Davey Larry Jerry and Jeremy were faithful to attend, and football Friday Nights. Then the hardest day of my life came, the first whole day without Mike. Dave and Suzi and Larry were one of the first families to stop by. Suzi and sons I love you like family, no you are family to me. Dave was a good man, and I have no doubt where he is, I can see him jumping and shouting praises to the Almighty as he made his entrance in heaven. What a reunion with his parents, aunts and uncles, cousins they are all having. Much love and prayers to you all.
