Rebecca & family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I found out tonight at 9:00 that David had passed so I did not make calling hours. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. I will call soon.

I always enjoyed homevisits to see David, and I usually interupted a game of Cribbage that he was playing on the internet. I could tell David was a hard worker when he was healthy, as he always talked about wanting to get back to work at Sears and Wegmans. He put up a long fight and now he is at rest.

David was like a younger brother to me. He was the same age as my sister; we would walk his paper route and talk about teen concerns.
I know he is relieved of his earthly shackles and will be missed.
