Our Heart's are with you. We were just getting to know David again after many years. My last note was in Christmas card and he said we would get together again after the 1st of the year for coffee.He was quite a guy. Wish I had more time with him.

I had the pleasure of knowing and working with Dave at Clover Park High School in 1958 and our careers crossed many times in the following years as we worked in the Junior High School programs. He was a fine person and always interested in helping students, fellow teachers, and administrators. He will be greatly missed by all. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.##imported-begin##Donald H. Price##imported-end##
We will truly miss Dave and know he will be at peace beside his wonderful wife, Barb. They had both been friends for over 50 years and our card games over the years had been lots of fun. Many good times were had and we truly enjoyed their company. My children (Dave & Barb were their Godparents) will also miss Uncle Dave. Our condolences to both David Jr and Deanna and their families.##imported-begin##Bob & Lois Hecker##imported-end##
I was privileged to work with Mr. Thorp at Lochburn. He was a wonderful teacher. My husband and I are also privileged to have one of his marvelous paintings of Mt. Rainier displayed in our home.##imported-begin##Carolyn Sullivan##imported-end##
We enjoyed having David as a neighbor. He was always friendly and we enjoyed talking to him at the mailbox where we would see him or as he tinkered in his garage. He will be missed.##imported-begin##Jean and Rene Young##imported-end##
