David and I worked together at the Archives building for over 16 years. He will be missed. David was always ready to help everyone. He talked lovingly about his daughter and his wife, his parents, and brothers. He was a true gentleman. David was a credit to the Archdiocese of Chicago and a friend to everyone.

My heart has broken. David, my cousin and I spent many summers when I was a little kid watching star wars and reading comics. He was a gentle soul and is already dearly missed. I know a part of him will always be with me and the rest if the family.
