He was always kind & gentle —though I had not seen him in many many years. May he rest in peace
I always enjoyed working with David.Prayers for the family.
David was a great classmate while I attended Blanche School. Lots of great memories. Praying for his family during their time of sorrow.
David was my mail carrier and was always so kind. He would always make an extra effort when my elderly parents (who live next door to me) had a package and was so considerate. He was so proud of his daughters and grandchildren and when we would talk he always had something to share about them. We also would talk about his military service and how that experience made him the person he was. He will be missed so much. I will be praying for his family.
It was a pleasure getting to know David and an honor working with him over the past two yrs. The workplace definitely won’t be the same. He had a heart bigger than the moon and was such a caring person. I will miss you telling me you need carrier assistance everyday, the smell of your burned popcorn in the mornings and the list goes on. Its not a goodbye, it’s a see ya later
I knew David for several years. He was on the fire department with me, always nice to talk to, never said had anything bad to say about anyone, always found a way to make you laugh. He will be missed.
Words can’t express how much David is missed already. What a character he was to work with and made every single day lively! It was a pleasure to have him as a coworker! Until we meet again!
David was a wonderful man. He kept us all in stitches at the post office. He was always there to lend a helping hand and would never leave anyone behind. He was one of a kind and will be dearly missed.
I have many great memories of David. What sticks out the most is when he would leave work for the day he almost always would say “ see you in two weeks”. There are no words to express what a loss this is to me and David’s entire Postal family and all of his customers.
One of the greatest friendships I could ever have. A hard worker. This just doesn’t seem fair! Until we meet again David , RIP
