David L. Cavalier

One summer when David and I were about 10 to 12 years old we decided to collect spiders. We would go out into the fields and collect them in buckets using 2 cups to capture them and bring them back to David`s house. On the Cavaliers back porch we had 5 gallon about a dozen 5 gallon buckets filled with spiders! I´m sure some were poisonous but that simply added to our interest. Being the nature lovers that we were, the spiders had sticks and foliage, and we would feed them flies and bugs. It was a wonderful summer until their dog Pepe ran through the porch and knocked them all over! There were spiders everywhere!!!!!
Well, Joyce was not amused and we had to take all the spiders back into the fields. We were so focused on our mission and had so much fun.
I´m still fascinated by spiders as an adult and I´m sure David was the same.
I will always think of David with a warm heart that only a childhood friend with shared adventures bring.
RIP David,
Janet White (Reibel)

I am so sad to hear this and my heart felt condolences to the Cavalier family.
I have so many memories of David when we were kids. He used to jump the fence to get fresh strawberries from the patch we had or come over and eat breakfast sandwiches with my dad. We never got into trouble! Jarts, football, pickle, all the games kids play.
David will be missed.
