I knew Dave from high school and he was such a sweatheart. So sad that the world lost him so young.

I can't believe this. I came across this through a search of all past high-school or college fellow comp sci guys I grew up with. Having had professional success, I now wanted to financially help those who had helped me succeed. I knew Dave from high school and from my various comp sci classes in college. He was so helpful in getting me to understand the more difficult concepts and assisted me on my programming projects. I remember him from his skinnier days, so I had to do a double take when I saw the new pics, but I knew it was him from his crossed-arm look in the posted pics that he gave to my group of friends from '94-'97 in Moon and at Pitt. I am so sorry.

David will certainly be missed here in Jacksonville. He always had great stories which he would share with us at work. I will probably miss his wierd, almost baseball-like, golf swing the most. Rest in Peace young man.
