Remembering and thinking of you today David on your 58th birthday. Miss our frequent phone conversations and times we shared together since we first met in Miss Delaney's 1st grade classroom at the Washington School in E. Weymouth. 53 years later we were still making memories and having fun everytime we got together. Tee it up with Frankie Callahan. I'll meet you guys at the 19th hole someday. RIP my friend.

I remember David very well, he had beautiful eyes to look into and nothing but kindness to offer. He was a friend of mine at Weymouth North and I will never forget him. Tonight we are having our 40th highs school reunion and instead of charging for tickets, we will have a donation box and ask for any size donation you can manage and whatever we collect will go to Dana-Farber in David's memory. A fitting tribute to a great kid. I wish I had known him as an adult but even though you say it is not goodbye at graduation, sometimes, it kinda is. Thank goodness for reunions, we wish David could be there but we will honor him tonight.Rest in peace our old friend. ~Nancy (Breen) Dooley

Great family, great human being David. Always pleasant and nice back in the day. My heart's heavy for the family and their pain of loss. Haven't seen them in years but the strong Weymouth bond never dies and the good memories never fade. Very sad to hear of your passing and feel for your boys, etc. May God grant them the strength to find a meaningful purpose to be a great representation of their father for years to come and take good care of their mother and be an example for others. There's strength in purpose! Bless you all, your in my prayers and I feel your loss with you!
