David McKay

Miss talking to this guy..always enlightening...Rest in peace my friend.

I knew Dave when I lived in Houston in the 1960s. Yes, he was a quiet, kind and gentle man and very highly regarded and well liked by his coworkers and peers. Phyllis Polk Liscum

Dave was a gentle soul. I am sure that his colleagues and family miss him.
