Patience
If you measure a man by the impact he has on others, then Mr. David was a giant. I don’t remember a single time around him when we weren’t smiling and laughing. His jokes and wit are overshadowed only by his kindness. He would give the shirt off his back for anyone. Our most sincere prayers for the family and friends who look back and celebrate the times spent with a great man.
My heart is full of fabulous memories, but it is broken at the loss of someone so special to so many. RIP, dear David and my love and prayers to his family, friends, and our classmates.
