My thoughts and prayers are with your family as you remember your love one. May God provide comfort and ease your sorrow through the power of prayer and the hope of his Kingdom to come with all of it's promises. Matthew 6:9, 10; Daniel 2:44

My deepest sympathy to the families of my buddy Dave. The many years we worked together, we argued about everything. But I always respected his intelligence, his loyalty and his wit and sense of humor. He made me laugh until my cheeks hurt and gave me a big bear hug when I shed a tear. He was at my side when he thought I was right and a crocked smirk when he knew I was wrong. Dave was and always will be my friend.
Find peace and cherish the memories.

Oh gosh, I am so sorry to learn of David's passing. Much love and condolences to Dave's family, and to the whole Begins family. Dave was an intimidating player as a high school soccer player at Mount Mansfield, and I got to know him much better playing soccer with him at Vermont Tech - he and Preston Tuthill made a fearsome physical force as the backbone of our defense. David was a good guy and will be missed. Rest in Peace, old friend.
