David was a very good friend and confidante. I knew him for 25 years. His sense of humour was legendary. He was one of the most erudite and learned people I ever had the good grace to meet. Everyone liked this man, from children to people in their eighties. Godspeed David. It's been 5 years. I've missed you frequently; and, I might add, I've never again had the expert haircutting you gave me. I can't wait to shoot the bull again, once I arrive at your heavenly presence!

I knew David from shortly after he arrived in Portland. He was working with my barber, George until George retired. David 'inherited' me and we got to know each other and became friends.

I was so sorry to learn that David passed away. I moved to Portland a little over a year ago found his barber shop. He did great work and I would see him every three weeks for a great haircut and an interesting conversation. He will be missed by his many friends and loyal customers.

The few times I met David, he was a kind and thoughtful person. My niece shared his living space with him for some years. I know he cared about people.
