It´s been 40 years since I have seen David. I worked with him in Special Olympics through a teacher named Karen Carter. I know he taught me so much more than ever did for him. 40 years later and I still remember David and the impact and memory he made on me. I´m so sorry for your loss but envious of all the time you had with a special little boy who I´m sure grew into a wonderful man. I will keep you all in my prayers.
