I know it`s many years later, but for some reason I thought of Dave. We went through school together. St. Domitilla/Proviso West. We also played together in Little League Baseball. My most vivid memory of our friendship was one day Dave came to my house with a guitar. I had a piano. We played Smoke on the Water by Deep Purple. Life is a journey with many people who come an go in our lives. Dave is one of the people who was a part of my life many many years ago, but I remember him. Best to his family.

Dear Claudette & Family,

It has been many, many years but I remember David as a small child with his wonderful smile.
I use to babysit for Teresa Hillman when you lived across the hall in the apartment building in Hillside.

Please accept our deepest sympathy during this difficult time. We will remember David in our prayers. Take care and May God be with you.

Sincerely,

Tom & Nancy O'Donnell

P.S. Tom is Pat Hill's brother and I am Jean Mosebach's sister.

Dave was a wonderful, caring person, a cousin who always put a smile on your face and tears to your eyes with laughter. He will be missed here north of the border. Although we couldn't make the trip to Hillside, I cannot got him or the family in the Chicago area out of my mind. Our family reunion golf tournaments will never be the same.

I did not know David but was very fond of his brother "Bobby" during the St. Domitilla years. I can only imagine how difficult this time must be for both Bobby and Mrs. Vasko. Be assured of my prayers.
