David was a true gentleman and one of the most professional salespeople I have ever dealt with. My condolences to his entire family.

I was extremely saddened to hear of David's passing. I met David in the early 70's while working at Club Managers Association, and then I introduced him at Industrial Research Institute, and he worked with us for many years. After I retired in 2001, I still kept in touch with him. Such a gentleman, and always willing to help. The world was a better place to have David and his wonderful people skills.

Please accept my warmest condolences Vivienne, Karen and Michael. Karen and Michael, you do not know me, but I've known your father since high school days at Coolidge High and often played tennis with him at Takoma courts. Bless you all.
