As we could not arrange to share some hugs with you today in person, please accept our sincere condolences.



I will always remember Uncle David for the Gemutlichkeit he brought to our times together, and pray among other things that in the next life he'll always be able to enjoy a field full of pheasants, a mitt full of trump, a trailer full of fish, a straight shot to the corner pocket and most importantly good folks to share the good times with.
