I am very sorry to hear about the loss of David. We both worked at THS with David. David was always willing to help out whenever and however he was needed. He always had a smile and a joke. He was an excellent teacher, colleague and wonderful person. We feel his loss, but we are better for knowing him. pats

Cathy, I am so sorry for your loss. David was a good man and a good teacher. I remember after he retired how he would tease me as I ran by your houjse, saying if I wanted exercise, I could help him with the wood cutting!
