My dear DAVID you will be missed. I treasure the days I subbed for you at KNOX ECE. You were an amazing Principal who gave your time and effort to every child and parent. We laughed and cried at your celebration of retirement and now we smile because God has taken you into his arms and if you listen closely we can hear your laughter and see your smile.Elaine Guajardo

David, rest in peace, my cousin. I wish we reconnected sooner and that I had a chance to get to know you better, you were always nice to me and my Mom. I hope the rest of the family rejoice in the memory of your smile and kindness. As such a connected family, please seek out each other in this sad time and know that my thoughts are with you all.

May you find peace and love with our Heavenly Father in Heaven. You helped so many and loved your students throughout the years. They loved you too. Thank you so much for helping me help so many in need through the holiday CHARITY projects; Thanksgiving baskets for the hungry and Adopt A Knox Roadrunner Christmas. You helped make one of my dreams come true by helping the children and families in need. You will be forever missed. Knox E.C.E.C isn't the same without you, sir. God Bless you and your beautiful family through their grief. May you watch over Knox in spirit.
