David was always easy going with a big heart. His last years were not easy for him physically but he kept going. I was just sure he would keep going and that there would always be a tomorrow. But I'll just bet so did he. Our family will miss him a lot!! Say Hi to Mom and Dad, David. Val

Great guy! Biggest heart and always cheerful. Even in his struggles with health you never heard him complain. He was Mr. Positive! We'll miss you David. Hoping we'll meet again someday. Heartfelt condolences to his family and take comfort in the love he had for all of you!

Every time I see a penny, I'll pick it up to check the year, because that's what we did on our walks together. Every time I sit in my backyard and watch the birds, I'll think of you. Every time I say what cha doin? I sound like you. Chewing big red gum while driving around in your orange van with no ac. I have all these memories that I will hold dear to me but the best part is knowing that I was loved more then I ever thought. I wish we had more time, but I am glad that you are at peace now daddy! I love you
