I got to know David when we were kids living in Pelham.  He was a couple of years older, but as the big brother of my good friend Debbi, I had chances to interact with him. David always stood out as someone who danced to the beat of his own drum. His uniqueness was captivating, and his friendly nature and self-confidence made him intriguing and effortlessly cool.  I can vividly recall his mischievous sense of humor, frequent smile, and distinctive laugh. He effortlessly won the adoration of girls and the friendship of guys. I feel incredibly fortunate that our paths crossed in life.
My heart goes out to Betsy, Lisa, Debbi, Steve, and the rest of the family.  May thoughts of David’s infectious smile always bring you happiness.
