Third shift in MA was the best when you were there. You made me laugh every night we worked together. Too bad we didn't finish that album we were wring on. You will be missed Dave. C mon 7:30.

I met David many years ago when I was in a dark place. He was a good friend if even for a short time. A very gentle soul. I'll never forget him. Prayers to the family.

I'll miss you Dave and all the fun we had when you worked for the DOC. I was young and you were a great teacher. I still have my C'MON 0730 t-shirt and love to wear my sunglasses in the office. Peace be with you my friend.
