David was a dear classmate of mine. He was one of the six who went through all 12 grades at New Windsor School together. We have been country neighbors all our lives. Whenever I called him to ask a question or just to check on him, I'd say, "Are you holding that end of Marston down?" He'd say "Yeah". I'd say, "I've got this end secured!" He looked wonderful at our alumni banquet and had such a good time. This was a shock. Rog and I are so saddened by this. Our heartfelt thoughts and prayers go out to the family. He's God's newest angel. May he RIP and God comfort the family at this time. Our love, Joan & Roger Lindsay

David was a dear classmate and friend from New Windsor High School. We were fortunate to have seen him in April at the annual Alumni Banquet - he was in high spirits and was pretty confident he had beaten the cancer - he said he'd find out in June - I am stunned at this loss of this dear classmate...to Nancy and family, our prayers are with you and we send our deepest sympathy on an angel now with his Lord and Savior...
