Thanks Dave.
I am so sorry for your loss of David…he was a very nice man
and always talked so highly about his family, his grandkids especially.
I met him when he ordered some Bears & Pillows out of Marthas
wedding dress. He was so happy to have those made for Erica & Michael
and his Granddaughters & couldn’t wait to give them to them.
Thinking of you all during this difficult time and again, I’m sorry for your loss.
Erica and Michael
I am so very sorry for your loss. Your Dad & Mom were Great neighbors and always fun to be with.
Thank you so much Jerry
David was a true character and a very good dancer I had the privilege of dancing with him a couple of times at Valencia ‘s Rest. I am sorry for the family’s loss and he is in my thoughts and prayers today especially and God bless him and God bless his family

Hugs for you all.
Love you, Erica.

Thank you so much friend
As families go, and grow, they quickly become a member of many more families. While we were more in touch with the Marrapese families when we were younger without families of our own or several moves throughout the states each and every one of Ronnie’s brothers and Beverly’s uncles have always held a special place in memories and hearts. Our prayers and caring are with all of you!
David was a member of our family for over 40 years when he married my sister Martha. I cherish those years. I cherish all the Christmases and holidays we spent together, all the vacations we went on together. I cherish his children and grandchildren. I cherish all the laughter because there was always laughter with David. I was reminded of that by looking at all the pictures displayed so beautifully. He loved “making Memories “. He wasn’t one to just sit around. I remember him saying “let’s go we’re burning daylight”. You will be missed ❤🙏
I am saddened to learn of David’s passing. Although I have not seen you for over 30 years when I was with your cousin Jerry F., I remember the bike rides. Sadly life gets past us way too soon. God Bless your family.
A good friend many years ago. We laughed and learned and spent lots of time together. You were one of us and it was great having you along. I won’t ever forget the many nights at the Winfield Grill and the bunny hunts with your CB radio in your Rambler. I was happy and honored to call you friend. You will be missed my good friend.
