Not sure what to say?

Pure energy, pure passion for life and his pursuits, generous friendship, a rapid mind, a friend of friends, a believer in people, and a problem solver are just a very few thoughts that come to mind about David. His friendship was real, and he wanted all who would be his friend to see the world as he did; with awe and splendor. I learned so much from him in the 80's that shaped me and my wife's view of the world, and on life in general as a young couple starting out. He will be sorely missed,...

MAY YOUR FAMILY CONTINUE TO KEEP IN YOUR HEARTS THE LOVE AND STRENGTH OF LOSING YOUR LOVE ONE.

Knew David for a short time and have wonderful memories of his friendship. My deepest sympathy.

You will always have a special place in my heart. Sorry you had to go, you will be missed.

I first met Mr. Wolfe in 1985 and was fortunate to have had a professional relationship (working closely with and for him) as well as a close friendship. He was a shrewd businessman that could "sell ice cubes to an Eskimo" even while being "busy as a one armed paper hanger". His greatest traits were his generosity, honesty, graciousness,and passion for life (to name a few). You are greatly missed, yet many wonderful memories always makes me smile. Condolences to Nils, Rocky, and Greg.
