I knew David for the 22 years I have lived in PB. I would see him Friday evenings at a spiritual fellowship. Always that shy smile and a good conversation. How he loved his Jaguars and we would discuss various cars. He will be sorely missed by all of us on Fridays. My heartfelt condolences to the family.

In our hearts forever.
