My father left when I was 10. Dave came into my life when I was 17. Dave loved me and taught me, I will never forget that. My children and grandchildren will know what a great man Dave was, forever. He is part of the fabric of my life. Dean.

David was a very sweet young man. I knew him in High School as Danny, and remember how proud he was when he came home with his Navy uniform...He had loving parents and siblings, and I will always be grateful for their love and friendship. Patricia
