Uncle David you are free to see, free to fly (not off Grandma's house this time), free to paint as many cars as you can (but I'm not wet sanding them), drive any distance in your 18 wheeler and free to to be as funny as you want in heaven and Nana can't get mad at you. HAHA You make Tata laugh because he loved it. You pull on Nana's arpon strings just to get her going and I'll never forget how much me seeing you interact daily with them was a joy for me even though you didn't know it. I love you and even during bad times I missed you. Thank you for teaching all of us how to mask a car, wet sand, fix a radiator and work hard for the things we want. You taught all of us kids alot. You were an amazing man with so many trades. There is no one like my Uncle David. You will always be respected, honored, admired and loved by so many of us. Thank you for your service and bravery and thank you for being my Uncle David.
