Dear Mickey, Mark, Ike, and Susie,
I just learned of David's death. I am so sorry for all of you. I know all too well that losing a sibling is devastating and you are never quite the same. However, I know you are a strong family and will support and comfort each other. I hope you will find some comfort in knowing you are all in my thoughts and prayers.
With sincere sympathy,
Donna Di Paola Webster. (Osh)

David's graduation from the Naval Academy was the highlight of my Junior High School years! Our families were very close, so my parents allowed me to skip school to attend; President Nixon arrived to give his speech by helicopter. I loved any time spent with David and his loving family. Deepest sympathy to those closest to him.

We were very sorry to hear of David's passing. I met Dave while working the ES-3A program in Burbank, CA. David was a talented engineer and a pleasure to work with. He was a friend! Our hearts and prayers are with David's family and friends, and to Martha who loved David and was his best friend.

Very sorry to hear. Dave was one of the first coworkers I met at as a new hire in Burbank in 1985. He always had a smile and was always helpful, sincere, and respectful. My thoughts are prayers are with Dave's family.

Dave's unexpected passing came as a real shock to me. We worked together during my sojourn at Lockheed in Marietta and he was a joy to work with. His infectious sense of humor helped a lot, too. Martha, I wish you peace.
