David had a boundless positive outlook on life. He was funny, thoughtful, and intelligent, with many interests. He listened intently to people and remembered their stories. He was creative and enjoyed woodworking, traipsing around Connecticut Hill looking for the perfect wood for a lamp or table. He graced these beautiful artistic pieces on his family and friends. David was also an avid organic gardener. The neighborhood and beyond enjoyed his zucchini, cucumbers, and tomatoes every summer.

He was greatly loved and will be deeply missed.
