So sorry to hear about David. I ran around with him at UJH and Austin High. Have kept up with him through the IBM network and his start up mold business.
Every time I saw him we talked about a night many years ago in 1962 when I was driving near Patterson Park, going way too fast for a gravel road, lost control and caused a roll over in my mother's car. Four teenage boys got out safely, but David's couldn't cause his arm got stuck under the upside down car's roof. We had to left the car upward to get him free. Luckily the result was only a sprain. David was a good basketball player and he had to miss several games due to my driving error. Could have ended with serious injuries to all five of us, but we were blessed. Obviously a scary life time memory for five teen age boys.
Junior high dances at Patterson Park, Hancock Rec Center and the YWCA. David Park's name brings up so many pleasant memories of days gone by.
Know he had many successes. I would hope the end was peaceful
