I've waited a little while before posting because there are just so many precious memories of my Uncle David that I didn't know which ones I wanted to share....I've concluded that I really don't need to choose one.... all that Loved him, and all that spent time with Uncle David will all have the same special memories.... he loved to camp, he loved to fish, he loved Florida and loved being tan! He loved great food and he always used way to much salt! He loved playing cards and dominoes... and he loved to see if anyone would catch him "cheating"....lol! Uncle David was my Favorite Uncle...
I Loved him...I will miss him and I'm grateful for all the precious time and memories we shared.

Uncle David loved his dog Sparky. I managed to get a picture of them together at Christmas in 2019. Before Sparky passed away. David was devastated. I always called David "everyone's favorite uncle". Even friends of mine knew and loved David.

When I was in the 6th grade, Uncle David and I sat at the piano and played music together. I've always cherished that day with him. I will miss him, and will see him again some day in heaven.
