David was a person who was unselfish with his personal time and cared deeply for his family and friends. He would do anything in his power to help them. He was so appreciative when friends came to visit and to comfort him when he was ill and not doing well. For that he was so grateful.
At Davids request, there will be no formal services but there will be a celebration of life in the spring with family and friends.
