David & I have always been the best of friends dating back to 1958 at Hillsborough High School, felt like he was the brother I never had. I know David will be missed by many, family, friends, & strangers. I will miss him greatly, but consider our friendship a true blessing. David's love of shopping, that we would engage in at the drop of a hat,& his gift for gab left many strangers, sales people with a smile on their faces, mine included, what a gift he had. Love you friend, with hope & confidence we may meet again.
