I knew David when I attended NEC beginning in 1963. I became friends with the local town people and knew his family. His nickname then was 'Niven' David was a warm, smiling, fun loving person. Condolences to his family and friends.

I knew David and Allen as well as his parents when I attended New England College beginning in 1963. If I remember correctly friends also called David 'Niven' David was a shining light with always a smile on his face. There was a small group of close knit local friends in Henniker way back then that I enjoyed. I knew that David was an actor in Tamworth but have not seen him or others in years. I'm so sorry for Allan, Peggy, the families and friends of David for their loss, he will be missed.
