Not sure what to say?

David and I were friends. We sat next to each other in the choir at St. Mark´s in East Longmeadow. I loved home very much.

David was a sweetie. We had many adventures together! Jerry didn’t you like to. Play teddy bears picnic on my moms organ . I can remember David had some huge pipes from a organ at my grandmothers farm. So many memories
Fly high with the angels David!

Jerry & David - it was a lucky day for me when you showed up at St Hilary's in Ft Myers and wanted to know how to join the choir. Little did we know that the pipe organ would get hit by lightening in July and David's skill in helping us not only repair it, but improve it, was a Godsend. I fondly remember our many Sunday lunches and laughter.

You made an impact on me and Dale and we are forever grateful!

David was a resident at the independent retirement community where I live. He was always smiling when I approached and sat at his table in the dining room. David and I had a laugh when I found the video of “We are Siamese if you pleases” from Lady and the Tramp.
Always pleasant. My thoughts and prayers go out to Jerry and David’s family.
