David,
You popped up in my memories today. I was talking about Halloween today and the memory of Kelly and I working at The Inn at Leeds Halloween party Oct. 31, 2009 and as she was sending you pictures of our costumes you called and I could hear your laughter. Only to walk into work 4 days later to be blind sided by the news of this tragic accident. Keep watching over your family and friends. You will never be forgotten!
