Cari, Revin and Brad, I'm so sorry to learn of your dad (and grandfather's) passing. David was a friend of mine as far back as Jr. High School. As others have described him, he was always kind. I include your mother in my sympathy, too. I know your parents remained friends throughout their lives. My sympathy is with you all.
