David, Steve Cook and I were best friends. The 3 of us would often hang out and talk about our little technical achievements. We graduated from Fontana High School in 1976. We were all in the same electronics communications class. Our teacher was Mr. Malory. David was an amazing guy and as I have come to understand, wonderful with kids. Thank you David for all you have contributed to a world desperately in need of good role models.

David was my best Pal, he lived his life bold, courageous and as a hero. He died living the same way, heroically trying to save his beloved dog from the icy pond.
David cared about everyone. He helped so many people improve their situation or feel better about themselves.
He will forever be a hero in my heart.
Rest in Peace my brother.
