We are among his Seawatch Tower friends, but it went further than that. He knew my Uncles in the North End and we shared many memories over the years.
It is hard to point to one thing about David, but he had a wonderful ability to make people feel good about themselves, expressing empathy for others. For me, I will miss those great kisses everytime he saw me and his great big smile.
We send our condolences to his family. We will miss him greatly
