    David was a very sweet person. I enjoyed getting to know him through our board meetings with the IMA. We had just recently decided to give some of our funds to the scholarship program at CFCC for students getting an Accounting Degree. He was very passionate about his students. This scholarship will be in memory of him.

    My heart goes out to you during this unimaginably difficult time. I didn't know David very well, but what I did know was that he was always friendly and kind and seemed a genuinely nice guy. I hope in time your happy memories of David will bring smiles to replace some of your tears.
