I remember the first time I met David. I saw a man raking our leaves. I inquired if they knew him. No one knew. We started calling him our leaf angel. That name stuck even when we found out his name. We will miss you David! Condolences to the family.

David was my next door neighbor for over twenty years. I will miss him greatly. Together we built his deck shortly after Lisa and him moved in. He was always friendly, kind and ready to help whenever I needed assistance for anything. He was a loving and supportive father to his sons. My sincere condolences to Lisa and the family. Rest in peace, my friend.
