Dear Betty, Karen Longcrier sent me a note advising thatyour son David had passed away. Carolyn and I send our deepest sympathies. Losing a child has to be one of the hardest things in life to experience. We often think fondly of our wonderful time in New England. It was some of the best years of our life. Thanks for being part of it.

I had the pleasure of attending school with David from grammer school through high school. I had the opportunity to meet up with him again a few years ago. He was a wonderful artist! I have one of his "works" hanging on my wall. He will be greatly missed by all those who knew and loved him.

I worked with Dave at Genesis many years ago but continued to see him when he would do his pizza deliveries always smiling with his Mickey Mouse ears on. He will be greatly missed by many. Rest in peace Dave.
