I often saw David walking in Morningside. He was friendly and often brought up a neighborhood issue to mull about together. My condolences to his family.

David was such an "Amazing " person. Always smiling, laughing, and always had a story to tell. He took care of our three dogs, and they loved him so much!! David we will miss, and so will all the little creatures you loved and cared for.
