R.I.P Dave. You were a wonderful husband and father and cousin. I will miss you laughter and wisdom. Now you are in heaven with many family and friends.
So very sorry to hear of your Loss Larraine and Brother Bill. David was a wonderful kind man and I did not know of his illness. Sending love and prayers to all the family. He will be sorely missed. <3
I knew David as a young grade school friend at Holy Family. I was born 31 May of 46 and we were childhood jums. I reconnected with David maybe 2 years ago on Facebook and we communicated with one another. It was so good to know him again. He never mentioned he was ill with cancer so I am heartbroken for that. However, I know that he was a believer from comments and posts he made on Facebook and for this I am joyous. He made me laugh everyday in school as a kid because he couldn’t help being a real person even in the face of the nuns discipline. What a great guy. I look forward to seeing him again!
may the angels hold you forever in their arms.Dave and I went to holy family for 8 yrs and connected on facebook a few yrs.ago.I knew nothing of his illness and hope he did not suffer.You will be so missed my all.FLY with the angels.
