Well it has almost been a year since you left us. The worst year of my life but I'm still here like I promised. I miss dearly and look forward to the day we meet again. But in the meantime I will cherish your memory and hold you in my heart. Our sons and grandsons keep me going on a daily basis. I try to be the kind of grandparent you would want me to be and to keep your memories in thier hearts. We all love and miss you dearly. Forever yours, Susan

To say David Waldman was a good man is not saying enough, he was much more than that. He was a great husband, father, grandfather and friend. To me he was a great neighbor. He helped my family countless number of times that I can never be grateful enough for. My parents divorced when I was a young age, and he was always there to help my mom out whenever she needed him for something. I believe knowing that he was right next door always made my mom feel more at ease raising two kids on her own. He was always just a phone call away if we ever needed him to help us with something around the house, and I appreciate that more than words can express. Besides always being there for my family he was also a good fatherly figure to look up to. He is the kind of man I think of when I imagine an “ideal man”. He was always so caring, loyal and loved his family so much he would do anything for them. I never talked a lot with David although I’ve known him almost my entire life; I think we both lean towards being more of the quiet type. But I can still say without a doubt he is one of the best men I have ever known. I know he will be missed by many and never forgotten. I will always remember him and be truly grateful to have known him and have him as a part of my childhood.

Thank you so much David for everything you have ever done for me and my family.

Susan, Jason, Danny and Davy.
Your dad and father "my son in law" is already so deeply missed but I seemingly feel that David is indeed reaching out to each of you in his own way to continue to love and protect you as only he could.
Love

You taught me how to be a man. You taught me how to be a good father. But most importantly you taught me how to be a good human being. You live on through the actions of your sons and we will make you proud.
