I had no idea this happened until today. I haven't seen Dave for quite a few years last time was in a hot tub with friends. Taking a flight home from Miami to Chicago to Winnipeg. Big flight delays. coincidently started talking with some guys from MCI and they told me the news. I'm so sorry Susan kids and family. I had no idea but it saddens me and wish everyone the best.

Birds Hill was a much smaller town as we grew up. I grew up knowing David and going to school with him. We lost touch going to different high schools and as adults. Another friend told me that David had passed. I am very sorry for your loss. David along with a group of kids have wonderful childhood memories of playing outside till dark when we all had to be in or called for dinner. My prayers are with you.

A mutual friend introduced us a few years ago. In the relatively small local computer community we value the camaraderie we all experience highly. He will be missed. - Posted by: Mike Pfaiffer (Colleague) on: Dec 21, 2011

I worked with Dave for several years at MCI - actually I was the one who initially hired him there. Dave was a brilliant man, someone I respected, enjoyed working with and will remember and miss. - Posted by: Percy Phillips (Co-Worker @ MCI) on: Dec 21, 2011

I have so many fond memories of David when we where growing up. I remember the day he was born so well because it was Easter Sunday and all the family was together at Baba & Gege's. Us kids where so excited to have a new cousin (there was only 5 of us then). Our parents always went camping together on the weekends to the White Shell, this one time we went to Twins Lake Beaches. My mom, his mom and myself went walking on the beach at night and there was these huge frogs everywhere. I remember we where all grossed out; and there was David & Glenn (my brother) filling pails with these ugly monsters. I baby sat for David & Deb many times, even though I was older then them we had alot of fun together. Rest in piece cousin you will be sadly missed. - Posted by: Lori & Larry Rosenberger (first cousins,) on: Dec 20, 2011
