Uncle David was always our favorite uncle!
Quick to make a game of play with us as children, shoot some hoops, play a game of tag, or tell us some funny stories. David was never without a smile, a kind word or a thoughtful viewpoint. I was sorry to learn of his death, but am grateful knowing he has gone to a better place to run and jump, swim and laugh as he always did with us. My condolences to his children and wife. We all miss you Uncle Dave, thank you for all the joy you brought us!

I remember David as a kind and thoughtful man. As my former brother in law, he was always cheerful and smiling. He was the youngest of four children and always displayed a boyish exuberance.
We will all miss him, may he rest in peace.

Here's a brief example of the Kind of guy David IS.
Several years ago, while participating in one of the Walks for Parkinson's, I was using a walker. I had had back surgery and was slowly making my way around the lake at the Vineyards Community Park. david passed me and when he saw who it was, he immediately slowed and walked with me for the rest of the trip around the lake. I'm thinking, what an amazing guy; this must be difficult for him and yet his thought is to support someone else. From what I know about David, this is typical of him, his first thought was helping others before himself. Again, "What a guy!"
