To David's family, I am so sorry to hear about David. He became a very nice friend of mine, on the morning bus ride to work. I enjoyed our conversations and laughs. He will be missed by me and others on our morning commute. Sending my condolences.

Terri and family: We were saddened to hear that my fraternity brother had been called home to paradise with our creator. The Lord must have needed David for some special project only he could handle. We wish that you find comfort in all of the people David was able to touch. Maybe we can see you at the next reunion. May the peace of Christ grant perpetual light to David. Amen.

I am very sorry to hear of David's passing. My condolences to Terry and the family. I remember him as always been steady and consistent in his mood and his work. He was pleasant to work with . I admire that his faith in Jesus was known. A good role model for us who follow. Sincerely, Paul Horvath

Teri and family,
David was one those guys who I thought would be around forever -- he was so athletic and laid back and always had a quick smile and a positive attitude. I got to know him first from his work in the planning office and as a steady professional voice of reason at planning commission and city commission meetings. Later I ran with him -- actually usually far behind him -- during Saturday runs with Red Dog's group. It's hard to believe he's gone on to his eternal reward. My heart and prayers go out to you and your family for your loss. I hope you can take solace in knowing what a treasure he was to our community.

To David's family,
As I will be unable to attend the service (I have a courtroom full of people to attend to), I wanted to express my condolences for your loss. We never know what tomorrow will bring. Dave, CB Lackey and I lived together for a year after we left Triangle. Though we have only had a few opportunities to interact since that time, I will remember Dave as a truly kind, considerate humble human being, whom it was a privilege to call a friend. I trust that your faith will give you comfort at this difficult time.
Sincerely,
Ted

I stood watching as the little ship sailed out to sea. The setting sun tinted his white sails with a golden light, and as he disappeared from sight a voice at my side whispered, He is gone.
On the farther shore a little band of friends had gathered to watch and wait in happy expectation. Suddenly they caught sight of the tiny sail and, at the very moment when my companion had whispered, He is gone, a glad shout went up in joyous welcome, Here he comes!

Teri & family,
I am deeply saddened in the passing of precious David. He was always of such warmth and comfort to me as he patiently guided me with wisdom in his words in fellowship at the Seed as well as in the workplace. My calls to Planning over the last few decades were always addressed with a clarity and compassion for my professional need .
Though I often asked the same question more than once , David never permitted me to feel foolish for asking. Our City has lost a consummate professional and the light in our world is dimmed in the passing of David. Prayer for God 's comfort to envelop your family in the difficult days ahead.

Teri and family of Lawrence, I am truly sorry for the pain you all feel in the absence of David from this earth. I your faith is strong and that you take comfort, as do I, that we will be united again. While I didn't live close in miles I was glad to have David as a First Cousin and do remember the times we were in Kansas to visit and play as kids. God bless you and know you are in my prayers.

I had the good fortune to work with David for five years in the late 70's. He was aces to work with and an all-around great guy who loved his family, his work and doing whatever he could to help anyone who asked. He was one of the most fair minded individuals I know and it showed in all his years of service to the city; especially his work with the Board of Zoning Appeals. I learned a lot from David and feel very fortunate to have known and worked with him.

I'm so sorry for your loss, David was one in a million. I have many great memories of jogging with David on our lunch hours.
David was the one who got me to do my first Half Marathon many years ago and we did it together. Thanks David for being my friend and helping me finish the race.
I feel honored to have gotten to know David and his family. Rest in Peace.
