Dear Pat and family,

Melissa and I remember your and David's kindness to us--your many dinner invitations and the good times we enjoyed with your family.

Pat,

My condolences to you and your family. I have many fond memories of working and presenting programs with David for many years at WPI as well as the trip with both of you to eastern Europe in 1989.

Pat, May God bless you and your family during this time of loss. David was a wonderful person and a very talented musician. When he played the organ, you could hear the angels singing with him.
