My deepest Sympathy to David's Family. I was shocked to hear of his passing. He was such a great person to work with. Always helpful and willing to share his knowledge. Rest in Peace Dave. You must have been needed to fix The Pearly Gates.

I'll miss Dave and the mutual harassment. Big hearted and unlike so many, Dave always endeavored to be inclusive making me and all of his friends feel like family. Rest well Dave.

I was so sad to see David's name this morning. I'm sure there are a lot of people in shock. After you attend grade school for eight years together at St. Elizabeth's, you never forget one another. I have such good memories of my childhood down in the Cedar-Riverside area. A lot of time was spent with David, Michael, Jim Dunn, and Bob Carlson. I'm so glad that I was able to see David again at our St. Elizabeth Reunion. My thoughts and prayers are with you Bonnie and your family.

You will be greatly missed, never forgotten, and dear to my heart.
