Really enjoyed the short time I got to work with David he had a very funny sense of humor. We would exchange texts/calls usually a joke or funny video one of us had just watched. Definitely going to miss seeing his car parked randomly at one of the stops on my route. Whenever I would see it I knew he was there to help me. He was such a great man!!
His #1 priority was always his boys first no matter what I can still picture his smile whenever he would talk about them.
