Although I don't know any of David's current family, I wanted to express my condolences along. David and I were good buddies in high school and some afterward. He was a part of "our gang" of guys. We always had a terrific fun time together in our escapades during that time period.

I worked with David at the telephone company for many years. I always enjoyed his company. He was very kind and extremely funny. He often made us laugh at his spoken and practical jokes. I really want to extend my condolences to his loved ones. I'm sure he will be greatly missed. If ever there was a likeable fellow, it was David!
