David,

Two years, what can I say but Love You and Miss You.
It is a joy to see Eli play with the toys you had. And to see Josy play like you and Jamie did with the covers in the living room, to make a tent. Dody has your strength and courage to go on. She is doing a great job being a Mom.

Our thoughts are with you and your family this tragic anniversary. I want you and your family to know that your brothers in Lancaster will never forget any of you. Since the day of your funeral I have worn a Thin Blue Line wrist band, and think of you every day I put it on. We have also been spearheading our department’s enforcement of the “Move Over Law”, in hopes of preventing this from happening to more of our brothers.

David,

In your own little way, in case you haven't already, please let Dody know how proud you are of her for what she pulled off Saturday. How she has turned this tragedy into something positive is amazing, and where she gets her strength to do so is inspiration. I know how proud you would be of her and what she has done over these past 2 years, just be sure to let her know often ;)

We love you and miss you....

PS. Good Samaritan = Gary S.....Thank you!!

David,

What a day all for you.
And to have Gary there was good for all of us.
You know the one that needs to feel your present help her and just let her here know it is ok.
It was great to see Dody, Eli and Josy run, just like you loved to run.
Love you and miss you Son.

David,

I know you and my Mike are up there smiling down on everyone today, justice was served in your death with guilty verdicts. You'd be so proud of Dody and your whole family for the strength they showed last week and today, they are truely an inspiration. You'd also be so proud of your department for the support they are giving and making sure their all taken care of. Keep your arms wrapped tightly around them all and continue to give them the strength they need. God Bless you David and hold you lovingly in the palms of his hands.

David,

I just wanted to thank you for being there with us today. Not only was your presence apparent when the jury came back in such a short time, but when we left with the sun shining and warm temperatures for such a cold circumstance.

We all love you and miss you so much....

Justice has been served.

The distracted aggressive driver was found guilty on all counts.

I was sitting with David's command staff at the York County 911 center being trained on our new P25 radios on that fateful morning.

At a Memorial Service at the 911 Center this past May I told those assembled that I can never put my portable on my belt without recalling that day and David's sacrifice.

The "useless brick" (as we sometimes call that device) just got a lot lighter today.

My name is Robyn and I am originally from Northeastern PA. My uncle - more like a brother since we were so close in age(Michael Metroka) was killed in the line of duty in a vehicular accident in Broward County Fl in 1997. I have recently moved to the York area - close to Spring Grove and have become familiar with the story of Dave through this website and the local news. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers as this is a difficult week to endure. I have been in your position and know first hand how truly difficult it is to face the person who took your loved one away in the courtroom....Should you ever want to talk to someone who has been through it and have lived with it for over ten years now, please feel free to contact me @ [email protected]. Stay strong and know Dave is watching over you and your children and is very proud of the way you are raising them! You will be in my prayers!

David,

Everytime I spend time with your beautiful wife, I see more and more why you chose her. She is so strong and such an inspiration, and probably really the only one I know who could deal with this horrible tragedy and continue to raise your gorgeous children in a way you'd be so proud of, but you already know that, and that is why you chose her. I'd like to thank you for choosing her and giving us your precious gifts, Eli and Josy, who make the days brighter. Make sure they feel your arms wrapped around them, particularly through this week.

Thinking about your everday, love and miss you.....

David,

Please wrap those supporting you in the courthouse and fellow NYCRP officers tight until we get through this week and next, particularly your mom, Dody, and Deb and Rocky. We need the strength and courage you can provide to us to just get through the week.

You are constantly on our minds and in our hearts. We love you and miss you everday.

David,

The words are hard to find right now. This week has been so hard for your family and friends. We're tired of hearing lawyers & witnesses talk about you. You were so much more than "the Officer". You were an amazing man. I wish the jury could hear all the details of the man that you were. I wish they could know just how unfair all of this has been. Thanks for the squirrel yesterday. I loved taking his picture and sending it to Dody. I'd do anything to put even a brief smile on her face.

I'm sitting here watching the PSU game. Today is Homecoming. You should be there with your beautiful Dody enjoying the game on this sunny fall day. You'd be so proud of the interest Eli shows in the game. He's such a little man! Brady plays his first game "under the lights" tonight and I know that he would have loved for you to see him play.

No part of this is fair. I keep telling myself that God needed you for some reason. And I still struggle to wrap my head around that, but it's the best answer I've got right now.

Wrap your love around your family in the days ahead. We all miss you!

David,

What a week. We are all here standing up for you.
The only thing I can say Joanna is a BITCH. To take you from us and put us through this trail. She just needs to stand up and take responsible for what she did.

Rest in peace my son. I love you and miss you so so much.
You are my angel. My Hero.

David,

Although I never got to meet you your family has become friends and family to me..... tied by a bond and membership that none of us want to belong to, survivors who lost a loved one in the line of duty. Please be with them this week, the trial is so very hard on all of them but you'd be so proud of Dody, your mom and everyone else. Their staying strong or putting on what we call our "game face" in public. Keep your arms wrapped tightly around them, give them the strength they need to help them. I know your with them, where else would you be? God bless you David, your a Hero and will always be remembered and never forgotten!

My sweet David,

Such a trying time we all are going through. There aren't words to describe what this week is like, sitting through the trial and hearing about your last seconds, before you were taken from us. Tomorrow 10/7 will always be a special day for me. Years ago on that day, even before you were a policeman, I was in a car accident, and needed someone to come and get me. You were the first one to get my call, cause we didn't have cell phones. I was so glad to see you. I remember hugging you and you comforting me cause I was shook up. Tomorrow will be another horrible day. None of this should of happened. You should still be here with us, your loving family. Eli said "pappy did you learn anything in court today?" That's your Eli, more & more like you each day. Nothing can describe how much I miss & love you.

Another day of missing you. It is still really hard and the three things I look forward to are talking to my counselor, hugging my grandchildren and seeing Jamie. Time is the greatest gift in this world. {Family Faith Friends}

David,

Today was one of those days. Holiday are just not the same, I just can not understand. Last night all I could think about was the truck driver. I just hope to get a hug from him and thank him. I really hurt for him. The tears are still running down my face at any time for any little thing that remind me of what is missing. "You my Son"

My Dear David,

I still miss you so much like it was the day you left us. Dody ask me to go to the Penn State Game. It was the four of us. Little Josy fell asleep for awhile, Eli was really into the game. You would be so proud of him, he knows a lot more about football then I do. Josy in her PS cheerleading outfit with her pom-poms we got her, was adorable. I felt bad in away, cause you should of been in the sit I was sitting in, not me. I could of cried at times. I know Dody missed you being their with her and the kids. Rocky and I are trying our best to do everything in our power to be their for them. You are with us every second of everyday. Loving you always.

David,

Why do I keep coming back to this site? To see your smiling face. What I wish for will never happen here on the earth, but one day I will get to hug you again. Until that day rest in peace son. I miss you so so much.

Until we meet again.

David, David, David,

Writing this and looking at your picture is just not right.
I was so proud of you at your High School Graduate. Then from Penn State and the Police Academy. That was my dream to be a Police Officer. You did it all for your family.
Eli and Josy are two very very special children to me.
Part of you my Son.
Miss you and love you each and every day.

Lift me up each day
Even though you've gone away
Your Spirit dances in my mind
In my heart, and in my soul
The life you lived, The Love you left
The one's you've touched, we won't forget
You give us strength in time of need
My Friend, My Angel Friend

'And we shared good times, through the years
In my heart and soul, you're here with me
My Friend, My Angel Friend

I hear you whisper in the wind
Piece by piece our, hearts will mend
The dreams you've shared will carry on
Here and now, and beyond
'And the world will smile, for you were here
The gifts you brought we'll hold them dear
I'll take you with me, 'til we meet again
My Friend My Angel Friend

'And We'll share good times from now on
In my heart you live on, with me
My Friend, My Angel Friend

I miss my Friend
