David was a kind and gentle soul who helped our family many times over the past 25 years. He was our friend, teacher, and a gifted craftsman with high standards. There was no job he couldn't do. More than that, he was always there when we needed him. David and Mark spent a lot of time together this summer and enjoyed each other's company. We will miss him deeply and mourn his passing. Our deepest sympathies to his beloved Katherine and the rest of his family.
