You have my deepest sympathy, Marcia. David was such a kind and gentle soul. I always admired that about him. He did such fine, meticulous work for me, photographing my brass hardware with such care and patience. He had real talent with his photography.
I am so sorry for your loss.

To Marcia and family,
I cannot improve on what was said above ...'David was indeed a tender soul and a brilliant and fascinating person'... except to add True Gentleman to the list. My greatest pleasure working at the library was to be on a shift with Dave.
May God be most pleased with him and comfort, help, guide, and protect you, Marcia.
Most affectionately,
Barbara & Muhammad Lowe

Have know Dave well over 20 years. Corresponded regularly with him dealing with Railway Post Office and Highway Post Office information. He was always willing to assist me with data or information and we worked well together with auction items every now and then.
I will miss working and kibitzing with him immensely.

I was shocked and sorry to hear about David. He and Marcia have been great friends from our college days. Even though I live far away now, the Gentrys have often been in my thoughts. David was indeed a tender soul and a brilliant and fascinating person.

To Dave's family, he was an awesome photographer but more over a VERY nice gentleman. We at PAC Strapping will miss him very much.
