David was a good friend whom grew up across the street from our family’s house when we were kids he could play rummy for hours and was always a willing participant to play games and enjoyed going to the races. He was later a partner in a Thursday night bowling league and anchored our team well. I have all kinds of fond memories shared with him including seeing him Marry Pat. God bless his family he will always be apart of everyone who knew David Joe.
