I am so sorry to hear of David's passing. My son Cody Mosley wrestled with him off season. What a great wrestler he was. Always kept us laughing, never knew what he was going to do next. Bumped into him in Cohoes not long ago, it was great seeing him after many years. He will be truly missed. Glad we have many good memories of him.

Tracy, Dave, and family, I am sorry for your loss. To lose a child has to be one of, if not, the hardest things to go through. I couldn't even imagine the pain you are feeling right now. Beyond that we know that he is in a better place, even if that's hard to grasp right now. I met Dave a short time ago when he had moved to Cohoes. I would say he was one of the biggest soft spoken young men I have ever met. It was my pleasure to meet someone like him. Tracy, I know that we haven't spoken in decades, however, if you need someone to talk to, vent to, please feel free to reach out. If I can help in any possible way, I will. Again, I am so sorry for your loss.
