David was a fine Gentleman. He was always willing to help, always offering his services to the MCC to which he was a member for many years. We will miss David.
David was a friend and valued member of the Milford Camera Club. I enjoyed working with him for several years, he was very enthusiastic about his responsibilities and we could always count on him to help in any way possible. He will be sorely missed by the entire MCC family. Rest Well Dave. Monica Baer
