Our deepest sympathy to primo Jesse, Helen, Gino and Ted. We remembered you all while growing up and although we are all away from home, we are always happy to see you around.

Dave will be missed by many. I know that he knew all my brothers a lot and had spent time with them in the past. He was also my husband's next door neighbor in Agat. He was always so friendly and easy to get along with.


We had included him in one of our weekly masses and we pray that god will give you all the comfort and strength that you need during this most difficult time. May he rest in peace. Take care and god bless.
