My husband and I met David for a brief 24 hour period last February when they shared a hospital room in Alexandria. The West Point Grad and the Naval Academy grad were sharing a room and amazing life memories. What a wonderful, brilliant man the world has lost, but truly he leaves an outstanding legacy. Our condolences to your family.
