David is my brother-in-law, and I will miss him terribly, being here in Hawaii, away from all my family, makes it harder to visit them in this time. I love him and always will. To my sister Carol, and my neice Sharon, and nephews Frank and David, my heart goes out to you all, I wish I were able to be there. Aloha

We are very sorry to hear of your loss. It is so sad that David couldn't enjoy his retirement. I'm sure he is in good hands with our Lord Jesus Christ. Our prayers go out to him.
