David E. Bird, Jr.

So sad i didn’t know of your passing until later. I will always remember you as skates. I am picturing you and John together again!!! Cheers guys

Dave was a great guy that was self taught, and extremely good at what he did when I worked with him at Unisys in Elk Grove Village. He was a mischievous character and ton of fun. Hope he is at peace with his cat and Quinny.

I have a special place in my heart for David and the Beecorns. I haven't smiled or felt happy in a couple of years until today, which is Christmas day and I watched Beecorns for the first time. I am so sorry for your loss. There is a special place in my heart just for your son.

Dave thank you for always being there for me you don’t know how much I am going to miss you. Hope you caught up with John and having a Bud Light together. I know you both will make sure I’m always protected just like everyday when you were here with me.

I was very sorry to hear of Dave's passing. I will always remember him as a very serious and intelligent guy. We had a great time on Tuesday and early morning Sunday drills, pump operator's class at Sea Girt, fire company monthly meetings, Beef and Beers and getting bushwacked. I hope Dave, Quinnie and Bush are having a cold one right now.

Uncle Dave was very thoughtful to me through the years and had a kind heart.

Dave was a GREAT guy. He and Quinny took me under their wings when I first came to Unisys. They never made me feel like I was an outsider. He will truly be missed.

Dave (aka Skates) was such a big part of my life growing up and truly was part of the "Quinn" Family. Under that hard outer shell was a soft and kind heart. He was a life-long friend to my brother, John, and along with Carl and Simps, formed a band of brothers. My mom delighted in the boys and closed her eyes to their high jinx in our basement! But, Skates, he was a constant. He ate dinner with us often and even named two of his favorite dishes my mom made: "slop" and "stuff". My mom...
