Carol, So sorry to hear of Dave's passing. Been a long time since we have all seen each other but we do have great memories of the old gang on Greenhalge Ave. Dave was always the life of the party in the old days. I am in Georgia now and Fred Campagnoni told me of your loss. Take care...

Carol I’m so sorry to hear of your loss. Ed loved his brother very much and always referred to you as his sister. I know there are no words that will comfort you at this time but you are in my thoughts and prayers. May David be at peace.

I will always remember David carrying the train of my wedding dress outside the First Baptist church in Boston. He said he wanted to help! He was 9 years old! I think he did it because he wanted “to steal the show”! Always bigger than life!
Sending love to Carol. Thank you for being there for David.
Love, Aunt Jacque

David was not only my uncle but was also my godfather. He had a major influence on my childhood and will be missed. I pray for God’s covering for my auntie during such times. Sending all my love and condolences.

I have such fond memories of my mother taking me to visit with you and Carol. I can still hear you sing and play your guitar. Oddly enough, I was singing that goofy song you used to sing about Carol just a few months ago - after all this time I still remember it and the way you used to make me laugh and smile. So many years have passed but I still thought of you often. Rest easy Cousin.

David, you were always the life of the party. Miss the times we listened to you play. Carol, you are loved by all of us! Blessings, Paul and Jeanene.
