We will miss our good neighbor with his delightful sense of humor
and good spirits even when he was not feeling well. Dave was a
pleasure to know and a fighter to the end. Dave and Mabel and Ginger
will be in our prayers and thoughts. Sally, Bill, and Jim~ Bill and Sally Brennan, Portsmouth, Virginia September 11, 2013
Heaven's gates have yet
been opened once again to welcome another angel home. You will
forever be remembered from our classes we had together, (Paulson and
Keech). RIP, David. ~ Catherine Gwaltney, Wendland, Wasilla, Alaska Contact Me September 11, 2013, 9:12 AM

Sorry to hear of David's passing. Although I hadn't
seen him in 40 years, we were best buddies in middle
and high school. I know he will be missed.
~ Glenn Wiggs, Yorktown, Virginia
I was a high school Senior at Manor (now Wilson) High
when he was a student teacher under Mr. Shepard. He was always
patient and professional with us. God bless him and his family.
~ Will Felton Contact Me I am sorry to hear of Mr. Nicosia's passing. I was also a senior at Manor High School when he was student teaching the 1992-1993 school year. I hope you can find peace know that he's in a much better place.
May the pain of David's passing be eased by good memories and
thoughts and support from each other. May the Lord send healing to
his family and friends. We attended Poquoson schools together and
graduated Class of '72! I have funny memories of David in history
class. May God's angels surround all who mourn his passing. We need
to remember he is in Heaven running fields with his beloved golden
retrievers. God Bless.
~ Dottie Martin, Poquoson, Virginia
Mabel - so sorry to read of Dave's passing. My
thoughts are with you and your family. I remember when the two of
you first met way back in the day. I'm so glad you had each other
for as long as you did.

Servant of God, Well Done!
Words by Charles Wesley (28 Dec 1707 - 29 Mar 1788)
(The Methodist Hymnal, 1966, #288)
Wesley wrote this hymn in 1770 on
the occasion of the death of clergyman George White.
Elvey's tune, "Diademata", has been set to several other hymns, notably "Crown
Him with Many Thorns" and "Soldiers of Christ, Arise".
Servant of God, well done!
Thy glorious warfare’s past;
The battle’s fought, the race is won,
And thou art crowned at last.
With saints enthroned on high,
Thou dost thy Lord proclaim,
And still to God salvation cry,
Salvation to the Lamb!
O happy, happy soul!
In ecstasies of praise,
Long as eternal ages roll,
Thou seest Thy Savior’s face.
Redeemed from earth and pain,
Ah! when shall we ascend,
And all in Jesus’ presence reign
With our translated friend?
