Amost a year later I am just finding out what happened. David and I were not close however he trained me to do A Framework for Recovery some ten years ago and I never forgot him. God I am sure has a Special Place For You.........James

I am writing this for my son in California who knew David very well.My son's name is Richard Porupsky and he wanted me to convey to David's family the sadness in his heart for the loss of a beloved friend. I am keeping the family in prayer here in Pennsylvania. I hope this helps my son knowing I was able to let the family know how much my son looked up to Dave as a wonderful friend to all.

It was fate for you and I to have met. It was fate that you continue to spread your wisdom to others. You now have the grandest opportunity of all, to be someone's guardian angel and change their life for the better. May you never cease your passions and continue making a difference.

You were more than a family friend you were a hero....May you forever rest in peace. My love for your only daughter, my sis...ShyLew....We will soon meet again.....Grateful for all your work for our community!!! Ofa lahi Atu.... 'Uhilamoelangi family
