I am so sorry! There are no words to express what Dave meant to so many people, including myself. I treasure all our times together and I'm thankful I was honored to know him. All my love and prayers.

My sincere sympathy to his family. He was a great man and lawyer. He helped my son a few times and was good at what he did.

Such a loss, but I know he is in a far better place free of the pain of this world.
David was a dear friend and he always took the time to talk whenever we ran into each other. He rescued my son from an unhealthy environment and helped me with many other things in relation to my son.
May God Bless and Comfort those feeling the pain of his loss.
