We are so sorry to hear of David's passing. Our deepest sympathy to Suzanne and their family and friends. We will always remember David's exuberance, his kindness and his interest in others. Whether talking with us about biking the Kal-Haven Trail, advising me where to buy blueberries and how to freeze them, telling my husband where to get the best sandwich, pizza, steak,____.(fill in the blank) or discussing the temperature of the lake, David always had a light in his eyes and a smile on his face.

Deepest condolenscences from the PEART family...all 26 of us who spent one of the most memorable long weekends in our family's many years of getting together at the gorgeous & hospitible Carriage Inn. He became our particular sailing buddy spring & autumn, when guests weren't filling the the fabulous Inn.
Suzanne, please accept our heartfelt thanks for the beautiful times you provided, along with David. The two of you together provide the proof of what a perfect pair together should do/be to perfectly run a B&B - could not have been mor perfect. No comedy, but perfect execution as the couple running the Inn.
Bless you both - God is holding you. From all the Peart Family
