Sally, Cynthia, Susan and John
Sincere condolences to you from Bob and Mary Ann Hargrave.
My favorite memory of David was seeing his pleasure and love
of music when I played the 2nd movement of Beethoven/s
Pathetique Sonata for him on several occasions.
We enjoyed his humor and his friendliness.
We hope your many happy memories will comfort you
at this sad time.

Dear Sally, Cynthia, Susan and John,
I am deeply saddened by the passing of David or as I always called him with deep respect, Mr. Fay! My deepest and Sincerest Condolences to you all and the entire family. I do not have one single memory but, many of David and you all at the Christ Clarion Church while, growing up as a child and teenager. David and you all were always so generous and kind to me and my family all through the years and, I thank you. I wish I could join you all today at the church in remembrance but, I am not able to attend. Please know that I am with you and that grieve his loss as well. I have missed seeing you at Church gatherings and Christmas eve services for some years now. I know he is at peace and has joined so many friends also from Christ Clarion and is having many good discussions with my father, Raymond E. Robbins Jr, Mr. Robinson, Mr. Van Bork, Gordon & Alice Tailor among other good and old friends. My sincerest Condolences and heart felt sympathy. Much Love to you all. Sincerely, Tim Robbins
