Lost another good guy. Although lost touch for many years he's one of those would often spring to mind when remeniscing. Taught me much about the game too when I first started throwing rocks. Always polite and kind. - Posted by: Alan Grant (Former coworker) on: Oct 16, 2025

My condolences to the entire family. I always enjoyed my interactions with David — whether through work or while playing baseball together during our time at Great-West Life. Out of the blue, he called me a couple of years ago just to catch up and see how I was doing. I really enjoyed that conversation, which would turn out to be my last with him. David was a good man, and he will truly be missed. - Posted by: Larry Blanchard (Work) on: Oct 16, 2025
