Dear Sandy and Bob and Jenny,
My thoughts and prayers are with you. I remember Dave from when he was younger and would come into the Town Hall to chat with me. I would see him at the Firehouse and we always would talk. If I was outside, he would call out to me. He was a wonderful young man-considerate-kind-thoughtful of others. You can certainly be very proud of him.
God Bless you- I am so sorry.
Sue

I attended East Middle School and Auburn High School with David. David was a member of the Class of 1988. He was happy to help and lend a hand. As an adult, David persevered through any challenge and kept fighting. He had a strong spirit. I am saddened by his passing. His memory will endure.

I am very sorry to hear of Dave's passing. We were good friends throughout and after high school. We attended the Jr prom for Auburn High in 87. I hadn't seen Dave in years. Dave was the kind of person everyone should have as a friend. My deepest sympathies are with you all.

Dave was a great friend all through high school. I remeber the time he saved my live out front of the Owasco fire station in 1987. I had fell of my bike and bounce down the road. If he wasn't there to pull me to the side off the road I would have been hit by an 18 wheel truck. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Memories do live on!
