I am so saddened to hear of David's passing. David and I go way back to the early days of high school where we met and dated for years. When we parted we we always remained good friends living together as roommates on and off. As teenagers David and Daniel were the entertainers at any party or just hanging out it friends, Daniel on the guitar and Daivd singing, of course, "Elvis Presley"songs. I think his favorite was "Blue Suede Shoes". The "twiners"is what we would call them, would also have us laughing so hard with whatever they were doing, singing, fighting with each other or just dancing. Just tooo funny those two. I have so many fond memories of David we had a long history as friends. I will always remember David as a wonderful, sweet sweet man that would do anything that he could for anyone.
Samantha, Mrs.Calandra, Sara, Charlie and Daniel--You all are in my deepest prayers and thoughts, God bless you all.
Love, Vikki George

Many years of camping, fishing, trips to the 1000 islands and all points in between.The absolute blast we always had. I've been stopping in to see Dave constantly and keeping everyone up to date on his progress. It was with a heavy heart I had to tell everyone of Daves passing. Each and every person has a funny story or a tale of kindness and generosity or humor that was Dave.... He's left his mark on everyone's heart, and we all will miss him beyond belief. My condolences to Daves family, and his extended family, Dan, Mary, and especially Mary Jo...
