I have known David for nearly 75 years. He has been a brother to me. His parents, Jeanette and Sammy, were my mom and dad's best friends. Although I have not been close to him in the recent past, I will always consider him one of the kindest, most trustworthy, loving individuals I have ever known. He loved Carol, his family, and his best friend Larry (my brother) and will be sorely missed.

His good nature and integrity come directly from his parents whom we all loved and adored.

Rest in peace, my friend and brother.
XO
