Dear David,
Deeply saddened by this. You were easily one of the kindest dudes in our neighborhood. You always stopped to say hi -- to talk about our dogs, the Sox, the Pats, etc.
I was extremely impressed when I heard that you were crushing it as a car salesman. We will help your Mom here in the neighborhood in any way we can. Knowing you, you're up in Heaven talking to everyone about anything & making them feel good.
God bless,
Adrian, Kelly, Liam & Laney Mendoza

Our family travelled to Nashua last Saturday night to trade my SUV in. We met a great salesman and overall good guy...David. He was kind and thoughtful toward our daughters as we completed a lot of paperwork while they waited for us to purchase a "new to us" Jeep. There was something about David...he seemed familiar to me yet we had never met. I called him earlier this afternoon and was told that he had died tragically in a motorcycle accident the very next day after we met. I was shocked to say the least. Praying for his family and friends...45 years old...gone too soon. Rest In Peace David...it was great spending time with you.-
