Obituary
Send FlowersAn Unexpected Present
David Garcia was a man who could make things work, albeit in the most unusual ways. Once, he patched up a pair of run- down work boots by gluing pieces of tire to the soles. And when the floor on his future wife's Chevy Malibu rusted out, he retrieved his tin sandbox and welded it to the bottom.
But Mr. Garcia could not fix his eyesight, which began deteriorating when he was 10 years old and had, by the age of 40, left him with 20 percent of his vision.
So he found ways to compensate for the independence he lost along with his view of the world, said Deborah A. Garcia, his wife.
A computer programmer, Mr. Garcia began working on a contract basis, most recently for Marsh & McLennan. He had enough vision left that he could still go boating, his family said.
Mr. Garcia's older son, Davin, 8, had his own boat: a remote control toy that broke last summer. After Sept. 11, Mrs. Garcia discovered it in the basement. "It was all put back together," she said. "He fixed it the night before this happened."

David and I worked for years at GHI in New York we were both in the IT department.
David taught me a new computer language and how to use it. I will always remember him as a very giving person.
They say that men marry women who can take over the training their mother started.
I would really like to hear from Deborah his former wife. I never got to thank her for helping make David the great guy and friend he was.
If you get this message Deborah or Richard
please...

Hi David - I never knew you personally but would see you each morning waiting on the train platform waiting for the train. You always said hello with a big smile. I didn't know you worked in the WTC so when your missing poster showed up I can only say I was devastated. It was only about a week after 9/11 that I found out this news. On another anniversary, I can only say that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I know you are up there looking down on your family and I am...

I am trying to reach David Garcia's wife and sons to find out how they are to tell them that Central Michigan University named a disability awareness (education) program "The David Garcia Project" after their father and husband back in 2002, with the family's permission. This was part of an original campaign by some legislators who wanted service projects around the country to name a day of service after loved ones who perished in 9/11. In our case, we had a disability awareness program...
