 To the PTG List,  

      About two years ago David was diagnosed with
incurable skin cancer.  He kept this confidential 
for  over a year and a half.  Recently he let it be 
known of his condition.  

   When it was recommended by his Doctors to have 
various amputations to prolong  his life, he opted to,  
In  his words to me,  "to live as long as I can, 
as well as I can,    with dignity". 
Therefore he refused to have the amputations.
  
 
     David was very active in our Chapter and  served 
on our board for several years.  He was also an 
outstanding instructor at Chapter, Regional and 
National Conventions.  
     
     This year the Institute called upon him again to 
instruct at the 2003 Convention,  His words to them 
was" I would realy love to, and I thank you for asking, 
but in all probability I will not be here then.  

    When there was a need, David never had to be 
asked to help.  He was an outstanding Technician 
and Rebuilder.  He tutored many tecnicians who 
came to his shop for help. No one was turned away.    

    I knew  David,s  Father  Al  since the 1950s and
did business with him,  Both Farther and Son was 
a class act and each were friends.
    
    David is and will always be a positive force on his
Profession.   David will  always be with us  because 
of the magnificent  legacy  he leaves.

    When asked to write this post. 
I knew it would be  extremely  difficult.
  ------   It  was.       


   A friend of  Davids.
