I am a Capuchin priest who went to grade school with Rite Nettekoven. So I also know David. I remembered him as a fine energetic person. It was with sadness that I learned of his death.

So sad to hear about Dave. We will always remember that grin on his face and all the pounds we gained eating his great bakery items! Who knew a Chocolate Drop could be so good! It was a pleasure to know Dave, Bonnie and Steve
