I had the pleasure of taking care of Dave while he was in the hospital both last year and just recently. He will be missed dearly. Dave was always so positive, laughing, and smiling (such a great smile!). We would crack jokes together and he would always put a smile to my face in return. His strength during his battle with leukemia and one of a kind personality will never be forgotten. His memory will always hold a special place in my heart. My dearest sympathies to all his family and friends, sending you prayers of peace during this difficult time.

I miss Uncle David. He always had a bright smile and loved to make people laugh- he was a good story teller. He loved his family more than anything, and he was loved greatly in return. He will always be in our hearts.

Dear Diane, Brian and Michelle,

Diane, Brian and Michelle,
Please accept me most sincere sympathy. In reflecting on my childhood, we had a small group of kids in the 'village', David was one of the kids. We went to school at Assumption together and sat side by side. While at Holy Name Diane and I met, she would later marry David and then move to my home town, Sutton. David was my family photographer, taking my girls first prom pictures and later wedding and 5-generation pictures.
Peace and Love to you.

Our deepest sympathy to you and your family for your loss. You and Dave were true friends to us when living in Millbury. We were always greeted with a welcoming smile and a joke to make us laugh. I'll always remember our saturday "play times", with the guys. Dave, you will be missed.
Peter, Marilyn, Jenny & Jeff.
