I still miss Dave. He would have been a severely decent influence on Andy as a friend had he been around those extra years.

David and I spent 2 wonderful years living together. We didn't have t.v. Or the internet but I was never board. Almost every night we cuddled up on the couch and he read to me( Louis LaMoore). I always thought me would end up together. I waited too long. I loved him, madly. I miss him so much it hurts. He was so smart and creative. Such a loving and gentle soul.

Not me, but his life story reads a lot like my own, and we shared our name. See you in Valhalla, tocayo.

Our family loved Dave. He was very special to all of us. Dave loved sharing the mountains with the children in our family. He loved showing them a snake or any other little critter in the area. He shared their joy when they caught a fish, he truly shared their joy of life. Dave always took the time to visit with friends, always making you feel welcome. Dave was a good man, and he is missed deeply. Thank you to those who posted the wonderful pictures of Dave. He was a true friend that left us way too soon.
I had such a great friend in life and will in death

I was about 8 years old when I first met David. We had just moved back to Morro Bay, and he had become fast friends with my Dad. David was such a cool guy, surrounding himself with lots of old machines made of steel and many interesting projects in progress. He introduced me to the The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, and his dog nearly capsized us out on the bay one time. He had so many interesting things to say. He is missed.

David, my Viking brother, you taught me so many things. Our time was too short. I will miss you like air.
Love to your beautiful soul.
