David and I were best friends growing up, and we kept up with each other and visited as adults. I didn´t know David had passed until I hadn´t heard from him for awhile. Eventually, I googled and found his obituary. I´d love to hear from David´s sisters. So much time has passed, but I hope Peggy or Patricia might contact me so that I might learn more about David´s final days.

David was a gem!! I worked with him at Fort Lee many years ago and hold wonderful memories of him. He was always ready to help and a wicked sense of humor. David, you will be missed.

Our deepest sympathies for family. Dave was a Va Tech fraternity brother of mine. My memories of him are ones of a person caring, and of someone that seemed to be all class. He cared about friends and even those he was just getting to know. The world will miss him. Hold on to the warm thoughts -- the good - and funny! memories of Dave! Those will last forever...When Dave stepped into the room with his smile, things always seemed to light up for us all!...
