Nancy, I am shocked and so very saddened to read this. David was a kind soul, a sensible businessman and a civic leader and so very proud of you and his children. I can remember the way his Mom spoke of David--always with a special sparkle in her eye. May God bless his soul and your family during this very difficult time.

David and I were both deputy directors of the GBC together in the 80s and 90s. I´d like to think we complemented one another well - David was the negotiator while I was the communicator. I learned so much from him and will miss him.

One of the top-of-the-line community leaders particularly during the Schaeffer years. A fine, bright, creative mind. A loss for our community, and his family.
