My sweet sweet Grandpa I will miss you but I know heaven is happy to have you. Thank you for inspiring me to try to keep a good attitude through hard times like you always did. Funny that the thing I remember the most about you is that you always played music and never sat still as this obituary states. I will remember that beautiful beautiful smile always! Love you, Tonatzin
My condolences to the family. I have known David for years because I am friends with his daughter Rachael. He is a sweet gentle man. I always called him dad. Always had a smile and always had a sweet soul. He will be missed. We may have lost a loved one, but God gained a beautiful sweet angel.
