David, we are so deeply saddened that you are gone. You were such a generous and kind person and we will forever be grateful that your welcoming personality brought us out of our shells within the dog park community. We will treasure our memories of Donahue's trivia, our raucous game nights and learning how to make your mother's sauce recipe. Both of us (and Harley) miss you so much. You will forever be Harley's favorite.
