Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
We were sad to hear of Davy’s passing. He was such a ball of fire and inspiration to any senior for what could be accomplished even later in life. He always had such a positive attitude. He even attended my bar mitzvah the day after his sister passed away, saying that life always takes precedence over death. It was an honor to know him. May you be comforted by your many warm and fond memories of him. All the best, Eric Bloch, Milwaukee, WI

God rest this good soul. I often saw David in years past when we were both younger. He always had a scripture for me to remember and consider, and he reminded me of the prophets of old. Fred James

Your father was small in stature, but his heart was the size of a giant’s.
