Not sure what to say?

I miss you dad.

David (Dave to us) was a long time member of Moving On, a social club based in Lexington, MA. Many of us old timers remember his sharp wit and hilarious take on everyday life. He drifted away over the years and may not have been active for close to a decade, but we still remember him as a charming addition to our social group.

My condolences to my dear friend and second cousinI love you!!
