How sad to hear of the loss of an old school friend. David was a kind and friendly soul, and my favorite memory of him was when it snowed, and schools were closed. We would go sledding in different locations, looking for the fastest and best conditions. David had this large metal Coke sign that was concave, and it was far superior to any store bought sled. To this day, everytime I see one of those signs, I think of him. Rest in peace friend, and know that every time it snows, you will be in my thoughts.
