Not sure what to say?

I am just seeing David's obituary now, over five years since his passing. It saddens me to know he is no longer enjoying life. I worked upstairs from David for many years and collaborated with him on some projects,. He was always a kind and gentle person, quiet, yet talkative, David always took time to say hello and chat with me. He spoke of his travel experiences, and the pleasure being in different places. He evoked his love of life and personal relationships. I can imagine he was a...

I am so sorry for the sadness you are feeling now. Please be assured that our Heavenly Father understands your pain. He is a God of compassion and through prayer, you will receive the peace that he gives the broken-hearted ones. (Luke 1:78,79)

RIP buddy. Such a kind and protective spirit helping those who needed it. You'll always be remembered.

Please accept my deepest and heartfelt condolences at this time of your loss. May the God who "binds up the brokenhearted" and "comforts all who mourn" sustain your family during this difficult time. Isaiah 61:1.

May he rest peacefully

Remembering David with affection and cherishing our times with the family. Love, Jean and Steve

He was one of the first in the office to welcome me and pepper me with questions in a genuine effort to get to know me, which I have always appreciated. I greatly enjoyed our chats about classic movies, history, and genealogy and his stories of his many cruise adventures. David was a one-of-a-kind individual and I will...
