I am so very sorry to hear of David's accident and passing away. I believe he had a wonderful life with his wife Amy and daughter Avalynn. I talked with him about knowing his Rittle family from the Avon area., with fond memories of involvement in the Avon community, Fire Company and 4-H Club. I worked with Amy at the Avon GIANT Store and was happy to know she married into the Rittle family. I could see Amy & David as a a wonderful couple along with their beautiful daughter. David will certainly be missed by Amy and Avalynn and all who knew him. My deepest sympathy to the entire family. Cindy
