David and I were best friends from the time I moved to Reading, Pennsylvania just after World War 2 (1945) until I moved away at Christmastime 1950. We had lots and lots of fun on our bicycles and went to the Strand Theater on Saturdays for the main features and then an hour of cartoons. We were in Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts together as well as both attending 13th & Union Grade School and Northeast Junior High School. I moved to Sioux City, Iowa in the 8th grade. I will always remember my fun childhood pal. If you go to my Facebook page you can see two pictures of David from those days. I found David some years ago in Colorado Springs and stopped by there a few times on my way from Arizona to Denver to visit my kids in Colorado. He was a nice boy who grew into a nice man. He knew pain, suffering the deaths of his wife and son. God rest your soul, David.
