I'm David's cousin and I remember him coming by the house when I was a kid.
David was 7 years older than me and when he came to visit he would sometimes bring pizza for the whole family when he didn't he would just eat whatever he could find in our kitchen. David always drank milk with his pizza , that's where I got it from and I still do. Didn't see David for the last 48 years of his life but I sure do remember him.
