David at his last reunion, 2001. David will forever be remembered as the Reunion King for the Class of '66. Always dressed in a suit and tie and always promoting good will and spirit among his friends and classmates. No one ever comes to a reunion and does not miss David!!!

Dave was a woderful firend of mine. We spent many weekend nights cruising in his '50 Chevy. I knew that at some point during the evening we were going to stop at his favorite bakery, and pick up a couple of brownies. If ever there was a role model, it was Dave. He is sorely missed by me, and everyone he came in contact with. May God watch over his soul.
