It was 1998. New to Florida, I was race walking through Haile Village when a mustard-colored Mercedes pulled up beside me, window rolled down. "You're race walking," a voice said. Thus began twelve years of weekly Saturday morning walks, even after David became a bionic man (two titanium knees). There were many local road races, a couple of marathons (he did six),the after-walk trips to the Waffle House for breakfast, and mainly the deep friendship and great good humor of a fine man. A fine friend.
We got to know David when Heidi married Gary. We loved David's feisty personality and spirit for life! He will be sorely missed - truly someone who lived life to the fullest. Our sympathies to the entire family for the loss of an unforgettable person.
David was a close family friend throughout my childhood, practically an uncle to me. I will always remember his great sense of humor. David would create laughter wherever he went, which is truly a gift. I even still use some of his one-liners, and remember him when I do. He was always a kind, fun and positive person to be around and he will be truly missed.
I met David and Donna at the FTC runs some years ago. They
were so kind to my son and I. I will forever miss his smile at the UF Veterinary building where I last saw him. I am sure he is in heaven telling a joke and flashing that great smile. Condolences to you Donna and the entire family as well as all of our Florida Track Club friends.
I first meet David in Glens Falls at the Fashion Shop bought all my clothes there. Sorry for the loss of a GREAT Guy!
I first met David in Glen Falls, NY where Hal and I were training during the summer. David was an avid runner. He put his heart and soul into it! And, as I learned later, he put His heart and soul into everything and everybody that he loved.
The expression “ still waters run deep “ fits David to a tee!
Rest In Peace, my friend. Bobbi Rothman
