I have great memories of when I was a child and all of us cousins would get together and play. David was the only boy on that side of the family.
We always had lots of fun on Christmas day together.
As we grew older he moved away and we did not keep in touch, but it is sad to have your life cut short this way. My heart goes out to his dad Jim and sister Carol. He came from a great family with a fantastic Mother and Dad who loved him.
I LOVE HIM.
I MISS HIM. TIL I SEE YOU AGAIN, LOVE BUBBIE.
Wait, he was a lifelong con artist and he died being a goofball? This is awesome.
