I had the priviledge of being David’s pastor for 10 years. In that time, he faithfully supported both me and my family with his friendship and prayers. He was faithful to his Lord, his calling and the Church. He was also a passionate supporter of the UCONN Women’s Basketball team and for time many pictures of the team and its players decorated the walls of his room in the nursing home. Peace to David and Nancy.

I remember David at North Park – we were in the same class. North Park was smaller then and we knew everyone on campus – We shared alot of good times. My sympathy to his family.
