Sharon, I am saddened to hear of David's passing, but he is at peace now and is with Kenny. I contacted TIm Underwood, former owner of TAT, Earlene Lemons, Patricia Nieman and one of our old work mates, Dave Dupont who still lives in Santa Rosa. I am attempting to get word to the other 3 of our management crew from TAT. I have found Frank Phelan in Austin, TX. David gave me great opportunity to grow my own career and helped me immensely in my endeavors in the Haz Mat industry. Most importantly, he got me out of Los Angeles and into Northern CA where I could finally spread my wings. I learned a great deal from him, and we accomplished a lot together. He made me his Operations Manager, and that is when we had our best of success. It was unfortunate that the economy was slumping beginning the fall of 1991. The company took some major hits, but we pressed through and kept the contracts on schedule. I am grateful that you have done so much to make his legacy known and to share so much with us all. He will be greatly missed, and I am thankful that I had the opportunity to work beside him. He was a really wonderful man!
