He was an avid CASA-NH volunteer and was passionate about giving a voice to those who had none.
An informal memorial will be held at a later time.

It was my pleasure to work with David thru many years. It was my honor to be his friend. I could always count on him to be a sounding board when I had concerns. I knew that no matter what I needed he would be able to come up with a solution. I will miss the ability to call on him for advice. I will miss his kind and compassionate friendship.
