I worked with David for several years at National Car Rental, I recall David's unique wit and sense of humor during many lunches, meetings and business moments. I also had the debatable pleasure of helping David move and remember lifting and moving some delicate and quite heavy pieces of furniture.
I heard of David's passing with sadness this afternoon and wanted to share a few thoughts and extend my deepest sympathies to Julie and family.

I had the pleasure of watching a few Hooch basketball games with David as they were working their way to state champs. David always had a great smile and always made you feel good just being around him. He will be missed.

I will miss David dearly being on our team and seeing him in the office when I visited. I considered him a good friend and a faithful coworker. He was such a gentle soul and someone that was easy to get along with and easy to talk to.

David was always so very kind even as a young boy, extremely soft spoken and eyes that always expressed his sweet spirit. I am so sorry for the whole family , I know there are no words to soften the hurt felt by all who loved him. I am sure Betty was very happy for their reunion.
