I knew David when I worked at ATC. I worked awhile with him on 2nd shift. He never once was rude. When I went back to day shift, he would be coming in and I'd be at the clock ready to go, he'd always say hi with a smile. He never hung with a crowd, he'd sit in his car. David will be truly missed. I'm glad I got to know him. That smile will always be in my mind.
