Dear Family,
I have fond memories of Your David. Even though he was two years ahead of me in school, I got to know him through my Sister and her friends. My favorite memory of David is, him helping me to ice skate one winter at the Tuscora Park pond. We had such a good time and he made it look like I knew what I was doing, by holding me up and not letting me fall. He was a very sweet fellow.

My condolences to the family. David graduated with me and he was always such a nice guy with a sweet smile. Rest in Peace, David.
