David and I took AP biology together at Brighton High School. He was always kind, courteous, and also had a good sense of humor . . . and there were some very funny adventures in that AP biology class . . .

David and I took AP biology together at Brighton High School and were friends for many years. His brother Mark Was my "tree-climbing buddy" (his father's description of our friendship). One of my favorite memories from growing up in Rochester was when the three of us went to watch a play in a downtown theatre. None of us were driving then, so we rode our bicycles to and from the theatre. David was creative, intelligent, kind, and a blessing in the life of everyone lucky enough to have him as a friend.
