We went back to elementary school. As a teacher at FHS I had his children for students and athletes in our programs. Great kids!! He was a fine family man, taken too soon. May he rest ...
I was so saddened by the news of David's passing. He was a great husband and father to my former co-worker and friend, Betsy, and their children. I remember when they first met and married. He seemed to have had a successful and happy life filled with many blessings. God bless, Dave. May he rest in peace.
Very sad to hear about Dave. He was a solid friend with a great sense of humor. We had loads of fun playing soccer and sailing. He was loved by everybody who was lucky enough to be a part of his life.
Words cannot describe the sadness that I feel. David and I were friends since 7 years of age we grew up in the South End we played basketball at Hazelwood played many rounds of golf wonderful husband,awesome father,incredible friend,rest in JESUS'S loving arms
Gread memories of Dave in high school and later in life when we sold real estate together....He and Betsy were the cutest couple! May your memory be eternal.
