I also worked with Dave at Comptronix, Pinnacle Micro and Quantum. I will always remember Dave for his kindness, generosity, honesty and his dedication to his family and everyone who worked for and with him. He touched the lives of many, and we are all better people for having known him!

Susan, you and your family will continue to be in our prayers.

To Dave's Loved ones,
Sorry to hear of Dave being called home. My memories of Dave are the fish he caught, and most he released.
He was such a good soul, and I am so happy that I had the opportunity to work with him at Quantum and the things he taught to be the best you can be.
I will look to the sky every night to see the star that Dave created.

I worked for Dave at Comptronix in the early 90's. He was a kind and caring person and a pleasure to work for. My deepest sympathy to his wife and family.
