Nobody could ever dislike David. He was there when needed the most. Always opened his home to family and friends and will always be remembered for his calm, kind, and gentle way. He had a love for eating, attending parties, taking day trips in his car with his wife, Silvia, whether it was shopping or just taking a drive with the top down in his convertible. They enjoyed walking outdoors together in Clove Lake Park, on the boardwalk in S.I., and sitting by the beach or river at the Jersey Shore.
