As cousins David & I grew up together, as we got older and had our separate lives we grew closer and became such good friends, we were constantly trying to outdo each other as I was so often reminded I was the \’older\’ cousin, where I teased him constantly about the baldness and fuzzies on his face. He is so deeply missed and I will love him for ever. Eileen
David was a patient in the dental office I work in (Dr. Jacob Seidner). I looked forward to David\’s scheduled appointments. He would come in smiling and we always had a really nice conversation. He was one of my favorite patients. I am so very sorry for your loss. He will be missed very much. Sincerely, Jean DeMauro
David was such a gentlemen and will be sadly missed. I work for Dr. Jacob Seidner\’s Dental office and enjoyed David\’s office visits. He had a wonderful charm & witt about him that I will really miss. Rest in Peace. My thoughts & prayers are with his loved ones at this time of great sorrow and loss to many. With deep sorrow, Mary
