Not sure what to say?

Dear Willis family, I am so sorry for your loss. David was a wonderful man.
With love,

Wendall and I truly treasured our time out with Faye and "Mario" as we called David. He was a wonderful man, loved wine as I did and was always the consumate gentleman, opening doors, helping us with our coats, etc. He will be missed by both of us and alot of other folks as well. We love you Faye and will stay in touch.

We have all the happy memories.
From all the Beckers

Faye, I am so sorry about David's passing. My prayers are with you and your family. You and Dave were very special to my Mom and Dad.
I will especially remember our combined family trip to Mytle Beach, South Carolina.

I met Dave at IBM in 1961 as a fellow IBMer. He, Faye, my wife (also from IBM) and I were close friends. Dave exhibited a unique blend of wit, wisdom, and insight that served us uniquely when we co-founded CIM in 1968. During some very tough years I cannot remember ever seeing Dave truly upset since he seemed to be able to look at a challenge as simply that -- something to be evaluated clearly and without any sense of despair. Obviously no one can ever know what someone's inner feelings...

We grieve the loss of our dear friend of nearly 50 years.

One hack of a guy! We'll miss him!
