I just learned of Dave’s passing 3/4/21. My most sincere condolences and prayers for his family and friends during these times. Dave and I spent much time together through Amateur radio and had breakfast together more times then I can count with the radio repeater club. Dave had a very kind, gentle spirit, and will be remembered and missed. Till we see each other again in God’s Kingdom. Bruce F. Barr KA3ENP

I would really like to thank David for being in my life. He didn’t leave me. He told me that Carrie and him would always be there for me, especially when things looked bleak. I felt something so special being in his presence. Being friends since 2006. He took me under his wing in 2013 since then he excepted me as an adoptive daughter and Carrie as well. The things we would share with each other that will stay between him and I. Thank you for being a Dad to me too. May you always look on knowing I’m doing the best for him and his family. I love you, Daddy! rest in peace.
