David Stonefield

I still remember Dave's "Bahsten" accent.

Dave was a true gentleman and a dedicated environmentalist. He was all about camaraderie in the workplace and getting the job done right. He will be missed. Condolences to the family.

Dave was a co-worker and a friend. I was privileged to take over the program he managed at EPA when he retired. He was a great mentor and example to me. It didn't seem like work when you worked with Dave. He was full of enthusiasm, but not drama. It was evident how much he loved his family, cared for all those he worked with, and cheered wildly for the Canes. Rest in the peace of God - you have left a wonderful legacy.

Dave was always upbeat and easy to approach. He had a great memory for job-related material, a high level of integrity, and a great sense of humor. So sorry to hear of his passing at such a young age. My prayers are with his family.

Dave was a wonderful professional at EPA, where I had the privilege of working with him. Dave’s work contributed greatly to the cleaner air we enjoy today, but he was always also looking to the future and the challenges that we continue to face. He leaves a great legacy as a wonderful colleague and leader for our country.

I knew David first at EPA, but then found Gail and David at Community UCC in Raleigh. They were part of a group of Cary residents who, under the sponsorship of the UCC, successfully planted a new church in Cary. They were a blessing to both congregations, but essential to the establishment of Good Shepherd UCC. He will shine in bright memory to many.

Dave was a great man. I worked for him and with him at EPA and held him in the highest regard. All the best to Gail and their sons.
