Dear Donette, Please accept my heartfelt sympathy regarding your loss. I am sorry for my tardy condolence, but I just now learned of David´s death. You and he helped us so much when you cared for my sister, Suzanne, at Duke years ago. Godspeed

I am so sorry for your loss. I live in the Five Oaks neighborhood and miss seeing David on our walks and the reliably wonderful conversations he always offered. Surprising and delightful connections we discovered: first that my name is Annie and my toddler's name is Rudy, like David's Annie and her Ruby! We later discovered that his dad was my mom's dentist in the small town of Circleville, Ohio, long ago. What an interconnected world! Rudy, my husband, and I always looked forward to seeing...

Donnette and Family, Please accept my deepest sympathies for the loss of David, There are no words that can comfort anyone from loosing such a fine man. Myself and all that knew David grieve. He was one of my oldest Duke friends. I loved riding with David around Lake Jordan doing car guy stuff together. The drives were how we touched base with each other. We shared deeply personal discussions about our lives and loves. It had been a while and I have been trying to hook up with him...

Donnette, I just learned of David´s passing and am so very sorry for your loss. David was such a treasure to work with. He brought laughter to each day and delivered such quality care to the patients. I missed the joy he brought to work when he retired. You all are in my thoughts and prayers. Diane Covington

Donette, I know it's been many years since I have seen you and David, but I so remember how much I always thought of you two, and enjoyed our working together. I am terribly, terribly sorry for your loss. David was indeed a wonderful man, and nurse. Much love to you and your family.

With much sorrow and sympathy for your loss. Fond memories while working with David. His meaningful impact on so many will remain.

While regularly visiting my sister and brother-in-law, David's neighbors, when both became increasingly ill last year, I began to chat with David when we saw one another in the neighborhood. He talked about loving to drive to Jordan Lake to catch a sunset, of how much he loved the area, as well as beaches, especially Topsail, and mostly he talked about his family and how proud of them he was. He was extremely supportive to me and my family. Honoring him, I extend my sympathy to his family...

It has been many years since I worked in Orthopedics and knew David but he filled a room with positive energy, eager to support patients and coworkers with his compassion, nursing skills and kindness. I´m so sorry for your familie´s loss.

I am so sorry for your loss.
