So sorry to hear of Dave's passing. He was such a sweet, thoughtful and upbeat person. We will forever be grateful for the letters he wrote to my family to share stories about my dad and the rest of the Bohrer clan. His letters directly resulted in reconnecting with relatives in Erie and therefore, brought so much joy to my family. From him, I have learned the lesson to be more kind and giving. I am thankful I was able to have known and met with Dave. Rest in eternal peace.

We are so sorry to hear of your loss. David and his wife were our neighbors on Holmes Street. We always enjoyed hearing his stories and appreciated what a great neighbor he was. He could be found daily outside working on his house and always kept it immaculate. He always looked out for us as his neighbors and we will miss seeing him. We are sending our thoughts and prayers to your family as you grieve this loss. Please let us know if there is anything we can do for your family. Take care & God bless you all!
