I met David in September of last year as a fellow member of the IGMT program. In that short time, I bonded with him and considered him to be a great friend. While we have lost David's physical presence, he will always be with us in spirit. I will always honor his memory by promoting tolerance of all mankind.

I worked with David when he managed the Health Care Cost and Utilization Program at the Department of Corrections. I will never forget his wonderful personality, humor and his special smile. He will be missed. My condolences to his family.
