Jacki,Tammy,Mark and families...I am so sorry for your loss. I have had a lot of interaction with your family over the years and I admired what I saw both individually and as a family. David was always so upbeat and passionate about what he was doing or felt. We will miss him and I personally will miss our many conversations. In my opinion he was the best LCS building and grounds supervisor that I ever worked with because when it came to kids, there was nothing he wouldn't do.
You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Ken Allerton..Livonia, NY
