Dear Claire, Linda and his amazing children, I can't even express how deeply sad I am at this time. I loved David. Having a nephew so close in age, growing up, I felt like I had another brother. I will miss his bright smile and kind heart. He was a great man,husband and father. His family was his life. I'm sure his dad and brother were waiting for him. Fly with the Angels my dear nephew.
