Bernice and family: Words cannot express how sorry we are for your loss. David was so many things--knowledgeable about so much and so helpful to others trying to learn. Watching The Ohio State Buckeye games won't be the same without David's harassing phone calls and texts. We'll never forget him.

I knew David since he came to Woodstock, he has always been a good friend and one of the best people I know. We had a lot of fun working on our MOPARs, racing slot cars, going to car shows and running around. I always enjoyed visiting his shop and seeing the amazing cars and work and how happy a place it was and going out to lunch. He will be missed but when we see a nice old Ferrari or MOPAR we will be reminded of David.
