I am so sorry to hear of David's passing. I enjoyed speaking with him and Judy recently. He was a great person and wonderful family member. In the midst of darkness and sorrow, may God provide you with love and light. May beautiful memories part the clouds of sorrow and allow the sun to shine through. Love, from John McElligott's family (Cathleen and Jeanne McElligott)

Dave was such a fixture at St Agnes Sunday Masses. I hadn't seen him in the past couple of weeks and was just about to ask where he was when I learned this sad news. My condolences to his family.
