My thoughts & prayers for all that loved him.
Dave was a little guy (4 years younger) on our VFW little league team back in the 60’s. Being a first year player, he didn’t see a lot of playing time at first but became a contributor later in the season. Good guy and steady ball player. He later played football and baseball for Wayland.
I used to babysit David and his brother years ago when I was 16. The last time I talked with David was at the Wayland VFW. for Tom’s memorial . Thoughts and prayers to his family
RIP David. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family and friends. GOD bless you.
