David became my son when I married his father, John Bryant Cockcroft, Jr., deceased, fifty two years ago.

My memories of David are treasures of a gentle soul who loved his family. He shared a passion for music with his brother Richard, which brought them both great joy.

Richard and Jennifer's children; David James, Catherine Grace, and Nathan John, loved their uncle and remember him with affection.

David will live in our hearts always.
