Dear Evelyn, Family: I was deeply saddened to hear of the death of my good friend David Spinney. His work for Farm Workers, Prison Reform and Addictions Treatment and Education personified the efforts of Chavez and Lou Brin. Dave was caring and full of laughter and always teaching. I consider Dave a mentor and good friend. I will miss him much! Ray /Ruth Kelley

David will be dearly missed and words can't do it justice. David was an amazing father in law and a wonderful grandfather. We will treasure our many memories of him and Evelyn and our trips to the Cape forever. He will stay with us forever in our hearts.

Evelyn, please accept my condolences on the loss of Dave, who was my neighbor for many years in Somerville. He was kind enough to let me park on his blacktop during the wintertime as needed because I had no off-street space. I had an exchange of holiday cards with him the first year after he moved but didn't hear back from him last year and wondered at the time if something was amiss as I knew he had some health issues. Dave was a very fine person; it was a privilege to know him.
