Bill, Hanker, and Elle,
I am so sorry for your loss of David. I used to babysit all of you, when your Mom went golfing on Ladies Day at CVCC. I loved taking walks down the street with all of you, pushing Elle in the stroller, and she got so excited to see a truck, and yelled out “fruck, fruck.”
it’s hard to lose a sibling. When my brother Mark died, it felt like I lost part of my childhood. I am sure you are feeling the same way. David will any be in your hearts.
Willie & Hank
My sympathies are with you and your family
So sorry for your loss! David was a class mate and always had a smile on his face. He always tried to keep us laughing. He was a good guy. God Bless
family,
I fondly remember David. I was the secretary at Family Services when your mom was a counselor there. I was tickled that he became a chef, because I remember him talking about his cooking experiments. I’m sure he will be sorely missed. sympathy to all of you.

Bill, Hank and Elle,
I’m so sorry to hear about David’s passing. It seems like not that long ago that we were all up to some mischief in and around Warren. I will always remember David’s laugh, his wicked sense of humor and insight into the absurdities of the world. May the memories of his infectious laughter and humor carry you through the heavy days ahead.
Our sincerest condolences from all of the Turbessi’s.

Wow, looks great, especially the conclusion. I had been searching for that topic
for a few times across the nest, however there was nothing valuable.
So happy to attain your post in the conclusion. I am excited about
this theme, and I want to be constantly aware of the latest news.
That’s a pleasure to see your post and eventually clarify the issue
myself.
Dave was a beautiful soul and seeing this I just learned of his passing. May you Rest In Peace my friend love you!
I am sorry to hear about David’s passing. I went to school with him and was familiar with some of his struggles. I am glad he was able to make contributions and enrich the world he touched.
