My sympathy to all David's family and friends. I have known David since grade school as we lived on the next street growing up. Went to Glendale High together. I would see him at our GHS reunions and were FB friends. Hoping he is at peace. He will be missed.

I met David at Unit 6 grade school. We were both in the same class in the 6th grade. Then we both went to Glendale High together. We had several things in common and have been friends since 1966. We will all miss him very much. RIP David and thank you for your friendship for 55 years.
