He was one of my favorit customers I will miss him .
I had not seen David for years, even though we live in the same city, but I saw him a week before he passed away. We had a wonderful visit. He has not changed with his love for others and kindness beyond measure and yes, he loved his boys.💙🎶
Dave stein, Sean Tallerico and Harold Guerrero were inseparable sophomore and junior years of High school. Before that, we rode our bikes all over the San Fernando Valley, just for fun. There were a lot of others friends involved, but we hung together pretty tight. Dave was the strong silent type, who you knew always had your back. Senior year we started to hang out less, we were involved with other things and hung out with other people, but when we did get together we had a lot of fun. I joined the Navy a couple years after the high school and I never saw him again. I will remember the times we had together with respect and laughter.
