To Selma and the Schwartz Family

It was with sadness that we read of David's passing in the Saturday Hartford Courant. We will always remember his determination to walk again after his accident on your River Cruise. You were often right by his side, and it was pleasant to chat with you. David led a full life and touched the lives of many. He will live on in the hearts of his family and many friends who he left behind. We send our sincere condolences.

With sympathy,
Gladys and Bob Dunn
Your neighbors at 37 Ranger Lane
