David and I carpooled between Winchester and Salem during the 60's and 70's. David worked for EG&G, where he invented and produced electronics. I learned a lot form David.
During our commutes David shared memories of growing up in Arizona. One that has stayed with me is his description of riding in pickups that had gun racks in the rear window.
Sometimes we talked about his meticulous rehabbing of their Stone Avenue home, where few ceilings, walls or floors were measured true, a challenge to work with!
We shared, too, the fun and challenges of the growing up years of our sons, Richard and Aaron, who were born on the same day in 1968.
I will miss David and always remember his principled perspective, sharp intellect, wit and friendship.

Dear Cynthia & Richard -- Our hearts go out to you in your time of loss. I was Dave's roommate at Caltech, and though we lost touch for many years, when we met again last spring it was like picking up a momentarily interrupted conversation. I'll miss the future discussions we might have had. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Jim & Pat Petty (OK)

I had the pleasure to work with and for David from 2001 through 2009. He made the hard work easier with his knowledge and the boring work enjoyable with his sense of humor. On many occations I sought his advise which he gave without effort.I always loved his stories relating to the sciences or art of which he was well versed.He was a great boss, good friend and someone who I always looked up to. I will truely miss our conversations and laughter. I feel very lucky to have known such a great man.He and his family are in my thoughts and prayers.
