The family would like to thank Hospice Home Care and his pretty nurse, Jonna for the loving care they provided.

I am so sorry to hear of David's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Reading Rev. 21:3, 4 and John 5:25 have always brought me comfort, and hopefully will do the same for you.

RIP Uncle. One of the smartest men I ever met. Don't think there was anything he couldn't do.
