David has always been a fine man. He's been so caring toward his neighbors. On snowy days he would plow out our widowed Mom's driveway without her even knowing who had done it for her. He was a quiet man, but a thoughtful person. He will be missed. We send our deep condolences to Rhonda, Austin, and the family. Elizabeth Weeks Woods
