David worked for me for quite a few years late 70's - 80's. A conscientious and hard worker. We also played softball together for a number of years (Structural Renewal, Casa Control, Prado Construction and Rancho Liquors). David is loved by all, never a bad word said by him or about him. I spoke to him last in Home Depot lot Fairfield about two years ago? It was as if we saw each other all the time. My wife and family loved him. He used to call my grand daughter blue eyes, we remember it well. A really nice guy. You will be missed David. We will meet again. Tom Murray, Structural Renewal

My brother Dave was loved by all who knew him. I could always count on him for anything that I needed help with.I will always miss his big smile and the way he always called me "sissy". I can't believe we lost you so soon David...but you'll always be in my heart and I have 51 years of the best memories to share with my kids when they ask about you. Dave, I know your up in heaven with mom and dad, watching out for us. I'll miss you big brother and I'll love you always....
