Dave, I can't believe this has happened. Although we hadn't spoken much over the recent years you have always been like family to me. Some of my happiest memories and life lessons are because of you. You were such a vibrant, happy person. I just can't believe you are gone. The world seems a little emptier now. You made me laugh, cry, you drove me crazy, you pushed me and made life more fun. I will always love you. Rest in peace, my friend.

You were such a fresh breath of air. Wit was your gift. Always quick to respond, and your responses were -almost- always right on point. You managed to be endearing and annoying all the same. You drove me crazy, only to make you love you all the more. I will always cherish our conversation marathons, our bouts of laughter, our endless plans, and your child-like ways. Thank you for bringing Ignatius into my life. Thank you for loving me, accepting me, wanting to build a family with me. You will live forever in my heart. Love you, smuck'ems!

Dave helped me in more ways than he could ever have known. It was a privilege to know him and I will treasure memories of that time.

Dear Fran and Al, The news of David's passing came to us via a friend in Palo Alto who saw the obit in The Weekly. Bill and I moved to a retirement center in Union City, CA 2 years ago. We are not always aware of what has happened across the bay. I don't like sending condolences on e-mail, but I didn't know your current snail mail address. Somehow, these sorts of heart felt thoughts should be hand written on a nice piece of paper. Our lives were once very involved because our boys were good friends. So many memories came flooding back. Remember their wrestling days at Gunn? What a worry.
I could go on and on, but most of all I imagine these have been hard days for your family. Maybe knowing that people care will help a little. Hope so. Warm regards, Audrey and Bill Cutler
