“Upon opening Facebook today, I was saddened to learn about David's passing. His sense of humor and love of music at the Cup of Joy is unforgettable, especially how he encouraged the young pianist Justin Cody. David was the epitome of generosity and a joyful spirit. Moving from Sauk Prairie to the Twin Cities of Minnesota, I've left some memories behind. Thanks for the reminder... those times were cherished, and David and Linda were such a significant part of those days in Sauk Prairie!”
