I am very sorry to hear about the loss of David. We both worked at THS with David. David was always willing to help out whenever and however he was needed. He always had a smile and a joke. He was an excellent teacher, colleague and wonderful person. We feel his loss, but we are better for knowing him. pats

Cathy,
Michelle and I were very sad to hear of David's passing. We are in Cupertino, California visiting my parents.

I have fond memories of David and the boys visiting you at the office. I would see the boys playing around while you and David talked and laughed, on occasion.

I will always remember his warm and gentle smile. He was always kind and friendly. He will be missed.

May the Lord grant you His strength, peace, and assurance during this difficult time in your life.

Love,
Cris and Michelle Roaque
