Sorry to hear of Dave's passing. I had the privilege of working with him in construction for many years in Fairbanks. I found him to be a wonderful friend, one who loved his son, his work, and his relationship with people. Sorry that I did not know of his life challenges as of late.

Our sincere condolences to all the family. Although he didn't live in Massachusetts we always felt he was close by. Every time he came home we had him over to our house for dinner (Filet Mignon, baked potato and a salad) was his favorite. We spent many hours chatting at the dinner table reminiscing. we'll miss you David - you will be in our thoughts always. Rest in Peace.
Love you, Uncle Stevie and Auntie Carole

I thought of David a few weeks ago while shoveling snow here in Fairbanks! I "house-sat" at his place one winter, and shoveled the snow high along the driveway that year - had to climb on top those berms and stomp them down to make room to pile more snow.
David was funny and thoughtful; it was a pleasure knowing him.
My sympathy to Patti and the family.

Miss you "bruthah-in-law " Rest in peace

David will be greatly missed here in Fairbanks, AK. He was a great friend, always had a smile on his face, and was always trying to put a smile on the faces of everyone around him.
Thank you, Patty, for being such a loving and supportive presence for him. I pray that you remain strong as you adjust to life without his physical presence, knowing that he will never leave you in the spiritual realm.
Love, Elizabeth & Woody Pharr
