Dear Connie and Family,
We have never met, but I was saddened to hear of Dave's passing. We were Eastern High School classmates and enjoyed a luncheon in Greentown last September when I was back home for a visit from California. Several of our classmates were there to enjoy a great visit. My entire family knew Dave's family well and were friends for so many years. He and my brother worked together at Delco. My prayers are with you at this sad time. With sincere sympathy,
