Lopes), his brother William J. Lopes Jr. (Billie Lopes), his Aunt Cynthia Morris, his sister-in-law Patricia Robinson Brown, his brothers-in-law Earl D. Robinson (Judy Robinson), Andre L. Robinson, seven grandchildren, loving cousins, aunts and uncles, nieces and nephews, and very special friends.

Darcel and Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. No words can stop the pain of such a tremendous loss. I am sorry I was not able to attend the services. Please accept my deepest condolences. Be kind to yourself during this difficult time. Much love, Patricia

Such a loss. I worked with David when he co-chaired the Blue Hill Task Force. He along with a number of other leaders worked hard to bring more development to that important street in Boston. Through his leadership the taskforce took on some important decisions.
