I truly enjoyed my monthly visit with David for many years. He engaged in conversations with me right away, always reminded me which holiday is coming up next. I still remembered how excited he was about Halloween or Christmas!
Sending my prayers for the families in the midst of this difficult time.

I first met David when we both were children and my Mother would take us to swim at Cossette home on the lake. Many years passed before I saw David again but one thing had not changed. That smile! I am sure he is still smiling down

Uncle David was such a special guy. He always had a smile on his face and couldn’t wait to give a big hug and see what you were up to. The title of “Mayor” was fitting for him because he liked to be up on all the goings on around town and in the family. I fondly remember him stopping into Kastore’s for dinner when I worked there so many years ago. It was always great to see him and catch up. I wish everyone peace as we know David will look in on us all and continue to hold court in his special way. Rest in peace, David. Say hi to Dad for me. <3

Sorry for your loss.I loved taking him and Donny places with Duane. He surely made people smile. He liked feeding our dogs treats for tricks. Our lab Moxie would always goose him and he would let out a “Hey! ” He will be missed. Hugs. ❤️
