I was sorry to read of David's passing. I worked with David at the Cortland Savings Bank but moved to Allentown, PA in 1979. While working with David, I learned that we shared the same wedding date, married in the same church and even shared our church flowers. We were married in the evening. David always teased me wondering if we really paid for our half of the flowers. It sounds like he had a wonderful family and will be missed by all.

Sherry, I worked with David at the Cortland Savings Bank but moved to Allentown in 1979. While working there, I learned that you and David were married on the same date, same church, and even shared flowers as we were married in the evening so you left your flowers for us. I was so sorry to read of his passing and I send my condolences with you and your family. David always teased me asking if we paid for our half of the flowers!! It sounds like he had a very loving family and he will be missed by many.
