I wish to pass along my deepest condolences to David’s family and close friends upon his passing. David approached his recent illness with courage, strength and humor which I greatly admired. I can recall years and years of discussions with David concerning cars, motorcycles and Plainville goings on in the 60’s and was always just astonished by his modest stories of racing cars at Plainville stadium. Unbelievable! What an interesting and intelligent person David was and I will always remember David with a big smile. So glad I knew him. Dennis Moreshead
