We first got to know David when we worked together on the neighborhood road repaving in 2010. He knew a lot about roads! But we remember more his absolute commitment to understanding and representing all the neighborhood viewpoints, and his ability to, over and over again, find ways to keep us moving to a successful conclusion. Since that time, we have been honored to be his friends, and have enjoyed many chances to get together with him and Maureen. We also remember his sense of humor, his unflagging optimism, his thoughtfulness and willingness to help others, and his love of chocolate chip cookies! We will miss him very much.

I was so sorry to hear about David's passing. I always looked forward to talking with him when he was moving my equipment. He battled courageously over the past few years. We will miss him. Rest in peace David "Lowbed"

We were saddened to hear about David's passing. He was a kind gentleman. Whenever we saw him at the track he was always smiling, he made a point of stopping over to say hello and tell us just how much he liked seeing Trevor doing so well. He will be missed at the track.

So sorry for your loss! I have wonderful memories of David. He was always so kind and generous! I love working for him at the truck shows and I will never forget borrowing his Giant Yellow Lowbed Tractor Trailer Truck to arrive in at my senior prom!

Dave was a kind and generous friend and neighbor who held seemingly unlimited knowledge about anything and everything. If you needed help of any kind David would give it to you. Very sad to lose him so soon. Hugs to Maureen.
