David William Smith

Dave and I worked in similar instructor jobs at GE's Field Engineering Development Center and we bonded, there. We were both good and avid cribbage players and only had a short lunch break. Therefore, we "reinvented" and played a modified cribbage game with more-than-normal cards in our hands. This gave us very high scores for each round and we could play multiple games over lunch and still start our classes, on time. Maybe they play cribbage, in heaven, and that Dave remembers the...

I came to work at GE in 2000. Dave was already an expert staple there. He was always happy to help me learn Liquid Fuel. LOL. I saw how he helped so many with his expertise. He was a pure joy to work around and set a standard for being a great tutor and role-model. Dave, you will be missed terribly. We need more people like you. - Paul Black

David was a warm hearted and kind gentleman. RIP, David!
