Dave and I were co-workers who became friends in Wilmington, NC in the eighties. I think of him often, and just this morning was thinking I really would like to re-connect. So saddened that a web search found notice of his passing. So many laughs, so many memories. I'll always smile when thinking of Dave. My best to his family, David being the only one I knew way back when. Chip Cline, Charlotte NC chip.cline@icloud.com
Enjoyed many meaningful conversations with David, very sorry for your loss.

David was one of the most fun cousins to have around growing up. We all had so much fun! He was kind, gentle and funny! You will be missed David! RIP my dear cousin!
Sam and I have good memories of times we got to visit with David. Remembering especially his love for cooking. We are remembering the family at this time of saying goodbye to someone they love very much. Sam and Peggy Burgin
