This is my Dad David Pecora at my daughter Vanessa's wedding reception in 2007. He is hugging Mom (Dorothy Pecora), the woman he loved, married and cherished for 70 years before leaving her in our care on July 26, 2014. Today they are in Heaven, together, with the Lord. I miss you both so much...

July 28, 2014

So sorry to hear the news of Dr. Pecora's passing. We have been neighbors for the past several years and although our conversations were always brief and often took place as we each took out our trash or recycling, I enjoyed the moments spent in his company. Just recently, we had a lovely conversation about the V.A. system and he informed me of his book "Between the Raindrops". I ordered it from Amazon and just received it last week. I was looking forward to having him sign it, but will treasure my moments spent with him and I will think of him as I read his book. Condolences to his lovely wife and family...he lived a long and purposeful life. Naina Williams and Family
