My family is so heartbroken we just learn about David’s passing, as I have been working this summer on weekends. He was such a friendly great person, he is a huge supporter of our autistic son, and family, and he never misses extending to shake his hand and greeting him and our family after each communion at Immaculate Conception Parish. We will miss his great smile! We lost a good-hearted and great person in our community. Our deepest sympathy and condolence to Mary, Luke, and Ruth, we are sorry for your loss, and our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Wishing your family the strength to face the days ahead and wonderful memories to cherish forever.
