David was my brother-in-law. From the first time we met 27 years ago, he made me feel welcome in the family and also in his circle of friends. We had plenty of conversations and consultations just trying to figure out everyday life and David was a good sounding board. He commented many times how blessed he was to have such a special wife and he treasured her beyond words. We rode many Harley miles together, some just us and some with our wives. It was a privilege to share those times with someone who loved to ride so much. It is sad that he is gone so soon. I know he is deeply missed by his family and his dogs and he loved them all very much.
