David was the highlight of my walk on West st, every day. His slowing down to smile and wave to me, wherever he saw me always made me happy. I didn’t know him , but he brought joy to my life each day. I’ll miss him!

Uncle Dave was a wonderful and loving man and will be dearly missed. The Lord has chosen to bring him home and he will once again be with Aunt Margaret. Love and prayers for all the family.
