David always had a friendly smile and cheery hello for those that came into the fire house. I remember him being around with other guys that worked in the same fire station. Rest peacefully David.

Sorry about the passing of David. He was a good man. I remember him from when my late husband was a member of the Washies and worked with him when it was Davids shift.
