I am sorry for your loss and pray for peace to fill your hearts. May David Rest in Peace! Knew David a long time ago when we were in our teens (58 now). We all hung out at Ronnie's apartment, listened to music, played frisbee, went swimming at the foot of Chautauqua Blvd, went to the 10th street park, and most of all just enjoyed being teenagers. May all your memories of David keep his spirit alive and bring smiles to you all. Peace be with you!

I really don’t know him but wanted to let Barb and Dixie I am sorry about their brother. I am a cousin and I haven’t seen him in a very long time. I am Ellen Johnstone’s oldest daughter. I can’t make it to the funeral home as I am out of town now. Again, my deepest condolences to his family.
