May God Bless you during this time. I knew him as one serious guitar player from the GCS days, but you knew him as a father, husband, and brother.

We have had the privilege to have met David on our first trip to California in the summer of 2002. David was very friendly and talked extensively about his days with GCS. He will be honored and quoted in our upcoming book (www.slystonebook.com). Our condolences go out to David's family, friends and wider community.

"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but rather by the moments that take our breath away." David took away the breath of everyone who ever heard him play. What a privilege to be at some of those jams. It's David's turn to solo, so... "Let him RIP".
