Our thoughts and prayers are with the family. I remember his great smile that would always flash to greet his friends.
To David’s loved ones,
Dave was my boss many years ago when I worked at the then Westinghouse DataScore Company. I have always ranked him as one of the two best bosses I have ever worked for. He was a caring and fair man and was a great guy.
Though I haven’t seen him since I left back in the 80’s I knew instantly this was Dave when I saw his pictures.
My thoughts and prayers are sent to you in this difficult time. I know he will be sorely missed by many.
Sincerely,
Michelle Olsen

That picture is exactly how I remember Dave. I remember his warm smile and great laugh. I also worked with him Westinginghouse, NCS, and then Pearson; still do but the last time I saw Dave he came in to say good-bye as he as retiring. You should all feel so much pride as Dave was so loved at our company. He brought a lot of good laughs and always so positive about work. He was a friend to all.
May your loving memories of him carry you through this.
