Thom, Joanne and Nancy and David's family.
I'm so sorry to hear of David's passing. I met David when Thom had his heart attack. He was very kind to me and l could sense he was a very caring man. I know he will missed greatly. Words can never express the pain of losing someone you love so deeply. May his family find comfort in their memories and prayer.
Love to Thom and David's family.
Sadly, I am unable to attend the life celebration for David, but wish to offer condolences to Joanne, Jessica, his family & friends. I first met David in the late 70's, working with him & the other engineers at Greenman-Pedersen was such a fun time, which I often remember and have to laugh...(playing pool and drinking beer at Cantler's)
I will remember David's sense of humor, his kindness and easy-going nature.
He will be missed. With deepest sympathy, Linda Holmberg
Joanne; I remember 2 visits I had with you and David, the first was when you invited me to your home in MD and took me on a tour of Naval academy grounds, made me a great dinner, and we went out to eat my first soft shell crabs. David was so cordial and inviting to the cousin he was meeting for the 1st time. The 2nd trip was when you guys came to PA and were going I think it was kayaking and hiking and stopped by Mom and Dad's to visit then we went to the brewer's outlet so David could take home some good Yuengling beer.
Take care cousin and think of those fun things when the memories get tough to remember. Grandbabies always make things better so spend time with them and know that a part of David lives with them. Love you Mary Fran
Dave was my first boss at MES. He taught me so much, how to use a computer, make a spreadsheet, manage projects. He also made work fun. He had a great sense of humor and liked to laugh. He was a wonderful engineer and lived to see his projects built, even if it was just something simple like a shed. My thoughts are with his family.
Thom, Joanne and Nancy and the Foster Family,
Diane and I are so sorry to hear of David’s passing. Di and I were remembering the wonderful roof top dinner we had with David and Joanne in Cincy...delightful evening of good conversation. It was fun to see the two brothers together. Our thoughts are with you all at this difficult time. Enjoy and relish in the rich life you all had together.
Diane and Howard
I only met David once, when 'little brother' Thom was in the hospital, following a heart attack. He was a calming influence, and a solid personality. I wish I had known him better, and I thank him for his service, and am sad that our country did not take care of our veterans from Vietnam, better than they did. He certainly did not deserve what he got, but such is the nature of war, waged by politicians. Our best and brightest pay the price.
May your memory be a blessing to your family. Rest easily, David.
Love to Thom, and David's family.
