I was out of town until mid-July and did not hear about David's passing until recently. I was so sad to hear the news. I knew David for many years as a patient at LC Dental.

David was much more than just my dentist. When I first came to Las Cruces in 1984, he and Mario made a special visit by way of a mutual friend to welcome us to the community. Each time I saw him for a dental visit thereafter, he made a special point of wanting to know how my family and I were doing. And, more than the expected cordiality between mutual professionals, over the years we became friends.
After his diagnosis of cancer, I would call him from time to time to let him know I was there for him and was impressed with his faith and determination. Though I miss him I am relieved that he is no longer suffering. He is free now.
