Here's one of my favorite David memories:
It's the early 80s on Lake Tippecanoe and David, probably seven or eight, and I are surfing on a paddle board behind the speedboat. He's the one holding the rope. Wipeout! He's got a snozzfull of water and his oversized lifejacket is making giant raspberries on his skin. He's crying so we load him in to the boat. A few seconds later, shivering in unseasonably cold and rainy weather, he asks me if we can go again.
David turned me on to Rusted Root, one of his favorite 90s bands. I'll always think of my nephew when I hear Send Me on My Way.

David was with our company, Jersey's Cafe, for about a year. He had made friends and had a lot of fun when we were all hanging out joking with each other. David and I had a lot of conversations about life. Sometimes it was to a point of strong disagreement, but never enough to cause a wedge between our relationship. When he left our company we always tried to keep up with him. One of our emplyees ran into him a couple months ago at a store. We always talk about David when the employees reminisce of the fun and goofy things the staff did to make everyone laugh. David will always be a part of our lives and company.
Thanks for the Memories David
