I remember so many good memories of David, His Uncle and I visited Roanoke to see Bob's mother in the nursing home monthly and always saw David & Sylvia & spent hours with them. David was an interesting conversationist and we laughed about many things over the years. He was bright, kind, funny & had a big heart. I truly miss David & Sylvia so much! RIP my friends.

David was friends with my two older brothers-he was always kind to me-treated me like I was his kid sister too! My thoughts and prayers are with the Debo family! Tara Downes MacCall

My thoughts and prayers are with the whole family. My parents used to baby sit with most of the kids. Mom fixed potato soup and they just loved it. We pray God will help you with each tomorrow. Losing a loved one is not easy to face but God can be there with strength to help you.

David was a very sweet guy and one of my class mates at Roanoke Catholic. I will miss his emails. So glad I got to talk with him on the phone last month. Another angel in heaven!
