Loved that man.... I met him when I was taking care of Mr. and Mrs. Noble they were both 95 at the time and lived on the 5th floor at plush Mills in Springfield.... Mr. Ffrench and I talked many times and he offered to re-cane two of my chairs.... which he did and it took him a long time to recane the seat of these two chairs but still all he charged me for was the cost of the materials..... I didn't know him long but he was a kind wonderful caring man.

David was such a wonderful, kind, interesting man with so many talents. We all loved having dinner with him when we'd visit PMs. I loved taking Mom & him to the grocery store a few years ago! They loved getting out and about. My heart goes out to you, Betsy, and your family. He will be missed.
