While I haven't seen David in many years, I remember him fondly from holiday meals and family get togethers in North Hampton, NH. Our grandparents, his grandfather and my grandmother, married after the deaths of their spouses. I'm saddened to hear of his passing.

David, we will always love you and miss you. We remember you as a caring, devoted brother, son and father. There are so many wonderful memories we had together as a family: growing up in Melrose, MA, of good times at Papa and Bertha's in N. Hampton, NH, and many summers shared at the farm in S. Bridgton, ME with mother and dad. We are lucky to have had such wonderful parents and a childhood full of love and great experiences. All these memories will live on in my heart.
Love, Natalie

Dave and I were roommates at Bates College. He was very studious and enjoyed playing trumpet in the Bobcat marching band. Following graduation, we frequently visited over the telephone, and a few years ago we enjoyed lunch together at Boston's Logan Airport. Dave will be deeply missed, and I offer condolences to his family.
