We worked with David for many years at ASU. Enjoyed hearing his stories, especially about his family. He always had a big grin that covered his face and the twinkling eyes when he talked about all of you. He had such pride of family. We are so sorry for your loss. Janis & Lynn Cook

David helped me learn so many things especially when I was remolding my bathroom the first time. I have a thing, I ask him how, then go home and do it.
I always aprrectiated his willingness to teach me.

Gayle and Micheal I want to express my deepest sympathy for you two as well as other family members. I know David thought about the love that he had for you 2 like no other. Gayle 48 YEARS, that tells us what a strong marriage you guys had. The last time I seen Dave was at NEA in 2014 visiting Uncle Joe before he passed and saying we were going to have to have reunions other than at funerals. Yet 7 years later here we are! I have been having medical issues so therefore I can not make the trip BUT YOU ALL WILL BE IN MY PRAYERS. Sincerely, David & Kay Friend.
