Greg, Vicki and families, I saw the full obituary in the newspaper, and David was described as a fun person. What other type of person would let little kinds play with his Matchbox car collection? I am very sorry for your loss.

I knew David from our years working together at Xerox. He was a kind, thoughtful, professional, and ethical colleague. He had a ready smile, if he knew you, and a good sense of humor.
He always tried to give his best to a project, product, or program. He was good at leading meetings, and he was fair regarding getting everyone's input before making decisions.
I enjoyed working with David over the years as we progressed through different groups and different roles. I was saddened to see his obituary, and I wanted to express my sincere condolences to Pamella, his children, and the extended family. The world has lost a truly good person!
Sincerely,
Sandy Glanton
