David will be missed greatly. I have admit that we had not kept close contact, but as class mates in highschool we had a lot of fun. Even after we graduated we were friends for years.
I worked with David for a stretch at Olive Garden in Mechanicsburg. I had several conversations with him throughout my employment and even after while visiting. David was a straight shooter, and strong in his opinion. He was a very intelligent man, with a ton of insight for an at the time younger guy. I’ll value that forever. Rest in peace brother.
Marlin, Lisa and family.
Marlin, I am sure your mother is taking care of David now. I remember when you all lived in the apartment above Portzline’s in West Fairview. I would walk down the alley and help entertain Lisa and David while Cheryl was getting supper ready.
Tenderly may time heal your sorrow. Gently may friends and family ease your pain. Softly may peace replace heartache.
