To The Family.
I just learned of David's passing, shocked and sadden. He was my neighbor @ Wando East Townhouse apts. I also lived in St. Albans, Queens NY. He was faithful on Saturday mornings washing his car. Always had a kind word. He will be missed.

I just learned of David's death. My family moved right next door on Saunders Street in St. Albans in 1957... we grew up together ~ what memories of the 50s/60s. I was glad to read the kind rememberances of David on this site and happy to know he had a good life with his family and friends and church. Heaven is a better home.
