Dave and Barbara used to come out to Maui every year and we spent many happy time with them. We certainly miss Dave. He was a fine guy and a loyal friend.

I was talking to a co-worker today and I mentioned David Mackin to her, I am saddened by his passing. I was David´s sales assistant at Prudential Securities in the early 90´s. He taught me so much about finances, I will be forever grateful for his encouragement to get my series 7 license. RIP David, I will always have nice memories of him.

So sorry to hear Dave passed away. His buddy, Arthur Zanello who gave him the nick name “smackin” just passed away also in December 2020.
I hope they are having some good doubles handball games up in heaven,, with Jim Keller and Fred Nagle, all good buddies. These guys had some great times together. Arthur and Dave just had a phone conversation,
I believe it was in October, I spoke to Dave also, and we were going to try to get together. Dave would always call me Ruth. My name is Sylvia.
Dave, may you Rest In Peace you were a fun guy to know.

I met Dave through my previous coworkers, Fred Nagle and Jim Keller, two of his very good friends almost 3 decades ago. We would meet for drinks at the Olympic club and then go have dinner in north beach or China town in the good old days of downtown happy hours. Our last dinner together was last year at Tadich Grill right after he officially finally retired after so many years. Our most recent plan was to have dinner together when indoor dining happened again. We never got the chance. I’m thankful to have enjoyed his friendship for so many years. He was friendly and thoughtful, an old school gentlemen and a charmer! I last spoke with him right before Christmas and I suppose I’m thankful I tried calling him last Friday morning. I was able to attend his funeral and meet one of his daughters. He was a good man and I miss him; I’m thankful to have known him. RIP, Dave ~ your nurse friend, Kelly

I will dearly miss Dave. He was a lot of fun both on and off the handball courts. There will be no more bets about Stanford and Oregon sports teams. That is sad. I hope to see him again someday. Fred George

He was a great guy and a loyal friend. Also a fine handball player with a good sense of humor on and off the court. He will be well remembered by all who knew him.

I am truly saddened to hear of Dave’s sudden passing. I always enjoyed his company and we had much in common.
Dave bled green and although years apart we were fraternity brothers at the U of O. He lived with my high school football coach who was a mentor to me. Dave’s stories about him were fascinating.
Dave and I were a member of another fraternity, we played handball! The game creates a bond that is difficult to explain but extremely valuable. We played together in doubles as well as competed against one another in singles. David was a fierce competitor while always a true gentleman. Although we only saw one another a few times a year I always loved seeing him and catching up. I valued our friendship as did many others. He will be sorely missed!

Dave was introduced to us by a mutual friend and became my financial advisor until his retirement. I looked forward to his calls before he retired and catching up with him at fund raising events to hear of his latest trips and travels to far away places. Rest In Peace Dave. You will be missed.
