David Colin Stratton

May 10, 1947-November 3, 2023

David was a trusted friend. He became part of the Manfrede family in 1998 after moving from England seeking employment with our property management company doing renovations. He was a skilled carpenter, painter, and handy man professing his skills, and capable of doing just about anything. He was a simple, selfless man, asked for nothing in return and always willing to help others. He was truly an animal lover, and rarely did you see David sitting on the couch without a dog in his lap or a cat wrapped around his neck. He shared every occasion in our families lives and was loved by each one of us. He had many friends in the US but to us David was family. He is survived by Norma (Lori) Mastrantoni and Mike Drutt, Larry and Judy Manfrede, Andrea and Chris Simmons, Lisa Manfrede, and Lillian Alexander. He had 6 nieces and nephews, 9 great nieces and nephews and 1 great, great niece.
