My sincere condolences to the loss of David. Many great memories of David when he would join me and my mother Myrna at McDonald's North in Stevens Point, WI. I always enjoyed and learned alot of David's life experiences growing up in Stevens Point, spending summers on the farm in the Town of Dewey in rural Portage County, WI, WWII, Elgin, IL, Hanover Park, IL and the Konkleville Bar. David, thank you for your service to the U. S. A! May God (Boze) rest his soul. I will remember him in my prayers. Phillip J. Janowski, Town of Hull ( Stevens Point), WI.
