I met David at Arden Court, where my mother is a resident.  It turned out we were both from Rockland County (me, Spring Valley, David, Nyack)...so we instantly had something to talk about.

It was obvious how much the residents at Arden Court enjoyed David, as did the other members of the staff.  He was always there with a smile, a joke, or a way to make you see the humor in any situation.  

During multiple visits we spoke about everything from why he moved from NY to FL, what was behind his drive to become an RN, sports...you name it...and you always walked away with a smile and greater appreciation for life.  

I can honestly say that David was another reason we felt good about choosing Arden Court, and I know he will be missed by everyone down there.

David was my rock. When Brandon needed to be in a wheelchair and home schooled David dropped out of college to take care of him so I could work. He said one of the reasons he became a nurses aid was so if needed he could take care of me in my old age.  He would get upset whenever any of his brothers would disrespect me even in the slightest way. He was such a giving, honorable, terrific man. He called me his hero a few years ago...he was also mine. I'm so lost without him, although I know he's with us in spirit......until I see you again my son R.I.P. Love Mom.

David was special.  He   treated the residents  at Arden Court with dignity.  We did appreciate his caring and missed him immediately. To David we say a" job well done", too soon.   Arthur & Patricia Larocca

Dear Sally and Family
I knew David over the years as a good friend of my nephew Jared. 
He had such an upbeat personality and whenever I would see him he was always smiling. I am so saddened to hear of this and am so sorry for your loss. Sending my condolences and keeping him and all of you in my thoughts and prayers.

I wish I could have made the trip to New York to say goodbye to Dave and meet his friends and family from New York. It is hard to believe he is gone; I keep expecting to see him. I loved his big heart, great sense of humor and his love for his friends and life. He was an amazing friend. Missing him. Sending thoughts and prayers.

I have had the privilege of working with David at Arden Courts for the past two years. He was loved, appreciated, and adored by co-workers, residents, and visitors. He touched so many lives each and every day. We held a memorial service to honor him here last week and there was so much love in the room. Even through the tears we managed to smile while recalling fun memories and David's "celebrate life" attitude. Our hearts are broken and our thoughts, prayers, and love are with his family.

I have an open space inside me,its for my family that I will always love, no matter where they are, how they are and what will be..Hugs to my family and it was a joy to meet all of David's friends ..I love you , Aunt Barbara Hugs <3

You would have loved seeing all your friends and famiily gather yesterday to honor your memory, David.  
I know we'll meet again when my time comes.  Until then ...

So sorry to hear about your son Sally! Peter and your David are together and watching over you. Rich and I hope you find the strength to carry on through this difficult time!

Rember all the great memories for he will always be with you. In your mined spirit and heart. God Bless.

Dear Sally , 
We are so sorry for the loss of your son/brother. 
May God bless and comfort you and the boys in your time of need.
Love , hugs and prayers to you all.

Sally, our hearts go out to you and your family as you travel this long, difficult road...I'm sure David is with his Uncle Pete and they're watching over you.
