David had the sweetest smile. I called him "a big teddy bear". God Hold him close now, and his family. I will miss him "catching the bus" and telling me stories at the Care Center.

Even from the days of our youth in school and church groups together, David was always a big, quite, gentle person. May his gentle soul finally find peace.
