Dear Kay and family members, I am so shocked and sorry to hear of David's passing. Although I have not seen David for many years I will always remember him as a loving, generous, moral portrait of a man with a gentle soul and hilarious sense of humor. The world was a much better place with David around and I know his journey will never end.
