I would like to offer my condolences to David's family. While I don't know any of you, I want to tell you how Davis frequently came into my store, Weepin Willie's, for a roast beef sub. He would always stay a while and chat with my about life, sports , and other things. I am saddened that we will no longer be able to do that. While I didn't know David very well, he is one of my regular customers and I will miss him dearly. Godbless David, and I will keep him and his family in my prayers.

Ben and all the Tedesco family- we can only imagine how heartbreaking it is to lose a father, a brother, a cousin,a friend and perhaps hardest of all, a son. Only love and prayers can begin to heal such a painful loss and we know as time goes on, they will. We send ours to you.

I am very sorry for your loss. I knew David all the way back in Thorndyke Road School, and then at St. John's. Later on at college and in Worcester, I spent many enjoyable times with both Tommy Lawless and David. It is really sad. He was fun, nice, and caring.

I'm so sorry to hear of Dave's passing and want to offer my heartfelt sympathy to his loved ones. I grew up with Dave, we attended grammar and high school together. We were even in the same Cub Scout group with many other Burncoat guys. Sadly, I lost touch with him over the years. I was shocked to hear of his passing and will keep him in my prayers.

Only good memories I have of the last I saw you...circa 1974 at Thorndyke Rd School. A humble, gentle soul then and no doubt a good man who handled such an early departure with grace. Peace to you, and family.
