I worked with David over ten years ago, knew he had health issues, never seemed to bother him. A solid hard working guy, was lucky to have known him and sorry lost contact with him. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

David was a good friend all through High School and was the one who could always make me laugh. I thought about him often through the years and wondered where he was. It is so sad to hear he is gone...
