I worked with David for a short time at the 5th, and although quiet, he had a wonderful sense of humor. I could always count on him to back me up when I needed it. He will be missed and was truly loved by so many.

I remember Dave threw so many passes in the summer before his senior year that the leather where his hand was completely warn off. Rest in peace Dave. Bill Frein nhs 1983
