To David's family -
We can not express how extremely sad we were to hear of David's passing. We met in 1993 through our work at EDS and have remained friends, even though living many miles apart. He will always be remembered as a kind and caring man with a wonderful sense of humor. Thinking of you all during this time.

My deepest sympathy goes out to davids family. He definitely kept me on my toes with his whitty personality! At his worst and at his best he had a personality unlike anyone i have ever met. He didnt like dealing with me so much during his stays in michigan but he definitely always had my respect and he was one of the smartest individuals i have met. He will definately be missed and my heart hurts at the thought of the loss.

David was a thoughtful,wise, caring individual, and so, so, funny! I smile when I remember his days in San Francisco. His passion for sailing could never be doubted. I am glad that he was able to enjoy so much of that in South Carolina. That he passed while doing what he loved has such mixed blessings. RIP David, I will always remember your spirit and kindness, and of course the bar stool at the end of the bar at the 'shoe where the problems of the world were solved with much laughter and beer.

I will always remember Dave's big laugh. I spent a lot of hours hanging around the 'Shoe with Dave and don't recall him ever being in a bad mood. I haven't seen him much in the last few years but I will miss him.

To Dave's family, you don't know me but just wanted to say what a wonderful friend your son and brother Dave was to me. We met in 1993 in San Francisco and remained friends all these years. My heart is sad at the loss of Dave but I find comfort knowing how he loved to sail and that's how his last days were spent. RIP to you Dave.
