Deb, I am so sorry to learn about David. He was the most fun to be around - always joking and laughing. That's how I'll always remember him. He was a good guy.

David was one of the first people I met when I moved into his neighborhood. That was a few years ago. Since that time he would come down and cut my grass for free. He just liked to cut grass. He gave me fresh eggs from his chickens, and loved to show off his tomatoes. He always spoke so sweetly about Deb. Without a doubt, she was the love of his life. He and Deb have always been great neighbors and friends. Our neighborhood won’t be the same without him. I am so sorry.
