We were saddened beyond words to see David's wonderfully smiling face among today's death notices. No one was a better testimonial to Living Life Fully--with warmth and laughter and a uniquely generous spirit. His sweet nature and positive outlook were gifts to us when we were next door neighbors on Magnolia. Indeed, each member of the Peet family brought special blessings to our lives. Ginny and family, our family grieves the profound loss of David in yours. Love and sympathy, Baylee and Marshall

My sincerest condolences to you, Virginia, and all of your family. David was a wonderful man who did much to perpetuate Scottish culture in the Pittsburgh area. I was happy to see him at the Ligonier ceildh. Clan Donald and all of our Scottish "family" will sorely miss him. I will certainly toast his long and successful life with a traditional Scottish toast. I wish you peace and love at this sorrowful time.

Dear Ginny and family, Scott sent an email message informing us of Dave's death--what a sad day. However, we'll remember the good days, hard work, and good friends we made during those Legioner Days.
Our thought and prayers will be with you even tho' we're far apart.
With much love and sadness, Paul and Marcia
