      Pete, Brothers and families, sorry to have heard this and for your loss at way too early in life. I was lucky to share twelve formative years with David. We had many memorable times in school; sharing bday parties together as we were one day apart, from his 2nd grade injury of stapling his hand down to the desk to our successes in football and his many wrestling achievements along with some good mischief. Thanks for the fond memories of Hatton. Rest in Peace my friend.
