I am so sad and shocked. David was so helpful to me both in joining the PSGA and the first to help me when I hosted our outing in August. I will truly miss him and will keep his family in my prayers. He was one of the kindest man I have ever met.

I will always remember Dave as quiet and soft spoken, but always with a twinkle in his eye. He enjoyed his profession and life. He always made one feel that he really enjoyed their company.

To the Cooper family,
We were really saddened today to hear about David's passing. Even though we had not known David very long we felt like he had been a friend forever. David was a part of our bridge group and had just hosted our group at his home. David was so warm, welcoming and sharing going to great lengths to create a fun and special evening.
David shared stories of the holidays at his house in a way that let everyone know how much he cherished his family.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
