David, I met you at AFOTEC stationed at Kirtland AFB and worked for you when you were a LT Col. You were a great Leader and a Humble person and helped us after you retired with our financial future as a consultant. I meaning to go visit you in Durango this year, but I saw the Obiturary on the website. May you spirit be with the Lord and you will be missed by many you touched including me an my wife. My Condolances to Glenda and your Family. Regards Marvin & Jeanne Pacheco from Texas.

I have known David my entire life from Sunday school to all of my years of school in Gonzales, TX. Even though we weren't related, he always seemed like family. Of all the boys in our graduating class, he was the most inspiring, A good Christian man everyone could look up to. He is sorely missed. x

David was a special classmate of mine. The class of 1962 was Blessed with David´s leadership that has carried on throughout the class reunions that we could be together. I pray for comfort, peace, and comfort for the family.
