I worked with Dave for many years at Westinghouse. He was a brilliant engineer with innovative ideas and a leader who can get things done And more importantly he was always a gentlemen who is willing to help others and takes whatever effort to help the team to achieve their goals. We will miss you Dave.

I only new David through tennis and our occasional tennis socials. Dave hit the ball harder than anyone else I played with. On an easy shot he had this great cackle before smashing the ball away. It has been a long time, but he is as vivid as if it was yesterday. My condolences to the family on your great loss.

I knew Dave only via the phone on reactor problems. He was always a gentleman, patient with those of us in the field and always very helpful.
Peace be with you Dave. Dick Niewoehner
