David and i were neighbors for many years. He was the type of neighbor you’re glad to have. In all the years I never heard him say an unkind word about anyone,well..maybe to the guy that ran into him and wrecked his blue truck.David was good with my dogs ,too. He will be dearly missed .I hope Desiel was waiting for him at Heavens Gate. RIP,David,dear friend.
