      So sorry to hear of David’s passing. Lots of memories growing up with David in Mt. Erie and at Cisne High School. He and my brother Steve spent lots of time together, usually getting in trouble but having lots of fun doing it. He will be missed. May God sustain you during this difficult time.

      David and I were very close friends in high school. I spent many a night running with David and Robert Jones going to Fairfield cruising the streets. At times we were like brothers. Unfortunately as time passed, we went our seperate ways only because of raising families of our own and me moving away from Mt. Erie. I will always cherish those memories. It really did my heart good to hear he and Donna got married and raised such a good family. May God keep and bless.

      Ms. Donna and Family,
      As Mike and Steve Neuman have said, David was one of the boys in High School and was always of good hearted humor. I remember when they first moved to Mt. Erie. David was always good to others. I am sorry for you and your families loss. I was sorry, I could not attend the visitation. Prayers of comfort to you.
