David and I grew up together as 2 young brothers playing, dressing up, pretending and getting into mischief in Rochester, NY our birthplace. I was 6 and David was 5 when we relocated to Utica and met new friends and in 1964 our sister Dianne was born.. we found it fun to help feed our sister in her high chair. As a young family we went camping, enjoying the outdoors, MYF church group, scouting ,going to the YMCA . We participated in high school sports, and then off to trade school and college. David became a skilled welder and I was a Criminal Justice Major, and I chose the medical field. We participated in Holidays and summer events as we enjoyed watching our children do the same thing that Dave and I did when we were that age. In 1992 David for reasons known only to him decided not to communicate with myself and other family members. His passing was a surprise to me. Dave will be missed as a brother and father and I pray he has found comfort with the Lord. May God Bless him,and his family too. Earl D. Van Scooter
