Growing up, my brother Dave was my guardian angel, protector, friend and confidant. His intelligence, wit and charm got us out of some tricky situations.

As an adult, I sought my brother’s advise on family, personal and professional matters. Dave was a sensitive, respectful listener. The depth of his love and compassion was remarkable. I still don’t believe he is gone.

I knew David in high school. He was a great guy.
What a beautiful tribute you wrote about your dad.

David was a great brother. Life took us in different directions, but we managed to keep in touch. Every time we spoke on the phone or during those rare visits to Connecticut, my mind went back to those days on London Rd where we lived and played as kids and young adults. His life was full of ups and downs, but he was always loyal to his friends and family. He had a very unique sense of humor that no one who heard it could forget. I miss him terribly and I like to think he knows it.

This last picture was taken the day of my birthday in November 2020. David, I will love you and miss you, and you will be forever in my heart. Natalie and Nicole will miss you. Now, you are in heaven.

David accompanied me through beautiful and difficult times. He celebrated with me important moments such as the birth of my grandkids, recitals, games, birthdays... He also corrected my English and was an excellent teacher.

On September 19th, 2004 a great love was born. David was thoughtful, affectionate and a good dancer. We never forgot this special date.
