David was a very good man. First got to know him a bit on the old Char broil forum and more so here. He truly will be missed. Prayers to his family from ours.

The Doc was a good man. Very sorry to hear that he passed. We never got to meet, but I felt like we were friends.

WOW...sad! He was young :(

Looking at the comments in his obituary, he seemed like a great guy.

Praying for his family :)

Hikerman actually found his obit - and forwarded it to me..I was shocked to my core. David and I had lunch in Stillwater MN only a couple of years ago, and we had kept in touch until the last few months...He had quit returning my calls, texts and e-mails....Now this. Really feel for his family and hope they will be o.k.
