Dave was quite simply one of the finest persons that I ever met and the best that I ever worked for. He was extremely humble but had an innate sense about people. He recognized both their strengths and weaknesses and was able to maximize their strengths and minimize their weaknesses, without them knowing it was being done. He was a great story teller and had excellent material to work with. He will be missed.

To the Family of David Sweeney. I was so sorry to learn of David's passing. I was fortunate to serve with him during my 18 years at the IBT in DC. He was humble in his approach and yet strong in his service to advance the interests of those we were honored to represent. I know he will be missed dearly by the family but also the many friends who were so fortunate to cross paths with him in life's journey. My thoughts and prayers are with the family. God bless, R V Durham

Mr. Sweeney was a very nice neighbor and a good man. He was always pleasant to the neighborhood boys as we played Basketball in his driveway or Football in his backyard. My condolences go out to his family. He was one of the good guys who made the world better.
