Worked with David at the Fire Department and I will always remember his smiling face and kind nature even in spite of his health issues. Sad to see him go so young. Godspeed, David.

Susan,
I am so sorry for your loss. I remember the last time I talked to David in the hospital and reminisced about "the good 'ol days." His humor and laugh were alway infectious. You and your family will be in my prayers.

In Heaven, God was gathering flowers for his bouquet. He needed a rose...He chose David.
My memory of David is a big gentle bear. He was always kind. This world needs more Davids. We are going to miss him but look forward to playing with him and the angels in Heaven! My prayers are for the strength of his family to carry on his work and good name.
