This is so sad. One of the suggestions is to write about a time when David made me and others smile - how about all the time! He always looked at the bright side, always shook it off - he will be missed so much I am sure.

That was a beautiful tribute to David. My grandson ask me how long had I know David and I said all my life. We grew up beside each other and have known each other since. David was family and a great friend. Miss you!
