I went to Salk Jr High School with Dave. He was smart and funny. Then he went to Shadle and I went to North Central HS. He was an unforgettable character. RIP David.

I met Dave at my Uncle Max's House. He would cook breakfast and we would talk about God. He was a very kind and gentle soul. He was humble and liked helping others. He was just a quiet, soft spoken, gentle man. We shared tears when my other uncle died of cancer. He has wisdom profound and was an excellent listener. I miss him very much.
