I’m so sorry. David was a great freind and i just recently re-connected with him after moving back to Illinois from California.
my oldest children have shared with the younger children many times the great memories they had around David. wether it was rc boats, cars or planes, fishing or just the food that David would make. the younger kids were looking forward to seeing him once they learned we had re-connected.
this news will saden my entire family. David was not just a great man but always a good friend.
to his wife and daughters… i knew David for years, and when i last had met with him, he expressed great pride and love for each of you. the man glowed.
to Johnny, Gerry and Gary, i wish you all the best and share in your loss.
