Uncle David was always very generous. We are so grateful for all the times he and Aunt Mary shared their beautiful home with us and especially for the time we spent with them this past August swimming together, enjoying great conversations, and sharing a lovely meal of pizza, fig bars, and peanut M&Ms! We all loved it....especially the kids! 😉
David was a truly wonderful person. He loved his neighborhood and I enjoyed working with him in the Knollwood Village Civic Club. David will be missed.

Dear David,
Here is your first lighted candle celebrating your life - I life well lived! Thank you for all our wonderful times during our 23 years together! I always cherished your loyalty, honesty, bravery and patience - especially when I was running "a thousand miles an hour with my hair on fire". You were always there to slow me down and you taught me how to stop and smell our roses every once in a while! Thank you for building us a wonderful home - I will cherish our special space always. Thank you for managing my Chanel perfume stock - you were always so attentive with these little details. Coco Mademoiselle will always remind me of you! I will still keep searching for that missing earring - it has to be somewhere in our closet! If you see it from up there, please move it somewhere that I can find it.
You have certainly earned your eternal rest. Sleep well now with peace - no more pills, no more surgeries, no more pain, no more shots, no more dialysis, no more band-aids, no more falling, no more wheelchair - only sleep, peace and your hard rock music!
With all my love ... always,
Your Mary
