To the Briggs Family... I worked with Helen at GE for 11 yrs back in the 80's and got to know David. I may have been the one who cut off his long long hair. He certainly was a sweetheart and a kind young man. I am sad to hear of his passing. God Speed Dear David.

I'm sorry I didn't get to see Dave when he was in the Boston area. He was my roommate in Boston, and we had a lot of good times. We were classmates at STCC. I remember him as being a very honest, funny person that had a great voice for radio and television. I got to know his brother Kevin and knew his brother Ron, mother and father. All the memories are positive.
He'll be missed! Ben Klemer (Wenham, MA)
