Yesterday
One can imagine missing David Vivrette for the warm memories you shared before his passing on December 25, 2011. Perhaps it's the absence of his humor and wisdom, or the loss of his companionship during shared pastimes like fishing and golfing, that creates the ache of his absence. The fondness for his family and loved ones, especially his grandson Noah, suggests he was a source of great joy, and his passing likely left a void felt especially keenly during family gatherings and holidays. The silence where his voice once was, the missing presence during simple, everyday moments, and the particular sadness that arises during the holiday season are powerful reminders of the person you lost and the memories you now cherish.

My sympathy goes out to all the family. Dave & I worked together at the Main Post Office for many years. He was a good worker in the box section & with express mail. He was a very proud grandpaw & enjoyed showing us all the pictures.
