David was my best friend when we were growing up in Canton. We did everything together and David and his parents treated me as their adopted son. My folks also adopted David as he spent many days at my house. He was the best of the best. I knew I could always count on Dave. I was thinking of calling him at the end of June to catch up on the latest but got too busy and now too late. I will miss him forever.
