I always had a new adventure hanging out with David starting when we were 6 years old at Lusher School. David’s childhood home on Green Street was a great workshop, experimental laboratory and renovation-in-progress. I learned a lot from Dave and his family, and I was awed by his energy. I’m forever thankful that David, generous soul, shared all that with me.

David we will miss you ! All the great times running the streets of
Uptown NOLA as kids.Your skills with that go-cart on the butterfly at
the river in the park and how you got it there at night will always be
legend to me. Eating plums in the tree in your yard till we were sick.
Early days but great times for all that had the pleasure to know you.
Your memory will live on and that is "All Good". Chris Fitzpatrick
