Not sure what to say?

David you will be greatly missed by family, friends and co- workers. I have very fond memories of our family gatherings. One really stands out in my memory of you and that was playing a game called Apples to Apples. We had many laughs and a great time. There were many more as you were a great person and I feel honored to have known you and will always remember you as being a fun and loving person. I'm glad your not in pain anymore and say hi to Paul for me. I loved you and sorry we didn't get...

Beth and Family, My sincere and heartfelt condolences for the loss of David. It was my pleasure to have been his barber for the past decades and it was always a pleasure to see him and hear of how close he was to you, Beth and how proud he was of his son. As he became ill, he was strong and never complained. I enjoyed hearing about his golf game, his trips to see his sisters in law and his love of making his yearly trek to make Mexican food there.

I am deeply saddened to learn of David's death on today his birthday. He was the "best of the best" and always my good friend. My heartfelt sympathy to David's family.

I remember Dave well. We ran track together at Willard Jr. High. We also played drums for a while with the Orange County Bagpipe Band, along with Doug Causey (piper). One day the 3 of us donned our kilts and went to Disneyland, just for something different to do. While listening to a folk duo on Main Street, the banjo player broke a string. Dave walked up to him, and without saying a word, pulled a banjo string from his shirt pocket, handed it over, and walked back grinning. It was hilarious,...

I had the pleasure of singing with Dave in high school. We both sang bass. I'll always remember his smile and sense of humor. He was proud of his Scottish heritage and he encouraged that same pride in me. I'll miss him.

I knew David since grade school through high school. Even at Wilson school he was kind, and smart with a sense of humor for sure. I miss knowing that a happy part of our past is gone. I remember him very fondly.

Beth and family, my deepest condolence to you and your family. I am so sorry for your loss.

From an old partner, please accept my sympathy and condolences. I will always remember Dave in his office at Bronson peering out from stacks of books, pondering complex legal questions, with unique insights and intelligence - and often wry humor. We will all miss him. Hobey
