I worked with Dave for several years when he was managing Treasury for the Export operations. I was in charge of the Latin America sales region in Miami at the time and we traveled together quite extensively. Dave was very smart and experienced and I learned a lot from him. He had a broad range of interests so I could always look forward to many interesting conversations and great laughs as well. I was truly saddened when I heard of his death.

Gail,

I worked with Dave at Navistar. He was a good man and a great mentor. My thoughts and prayers will be with you and your family during this difficult time.

Gail,

Please accept my deepest sympathies. Although a lot of years have passed,I've always thought fondly of you and Dave and our years in Cherry Hill.

David was a great colleague, classmate and friend; we attended Hackley School in Tarrytown NY. In 2009 we cerebrated a great milestone, our 40th reunion. Our classmates will miss his smile and friendship. I have forwarded his obituary to my classmates.

We enjoyed our 40th high school reunion in October 2010. We'll always remember his smile and happy demeanor.
