David will be greatly missed. He always had a positive attitude and cheered me up in MSWORLD CHAT when I was down. He always had good advise and a brightness about the conversations with him.
My heart, love and prayers go out to his family. He was a wonderful man and I will have him in my heart and memory forever. God Blessed me by giving me the pleasure of knowing him.
Sincerely & Condolences

Thank you David. Your welcome is what convinced me to come back to MSWorld after the first visit. Your Stoicism was always an ideal that I looked for when working with others. There were some good times for which I thank you. Stay strong James. You are your fathers son.
Till then.

What a wonderful heritage David has left behind – an American hero to his earthly completion! “Until then, my heart will go on singing! Until then, with dedication we will carry on!” Thanks for such an excellent life example, David!

God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around you and whispered “come to me.” With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hardworking hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best! I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you and your family.

What a giving individual, using his illness to help so many who suffer from the same affliction. I knew him from MSWorld. To his loved ones, I am so very sorry for your loss.
Shalom, Shayna

David has been a blessing to work with on MSWorld. His quotations have been sorely missed. Some how the quote that he always gave would fit into my life that day. I guess I will have to find my own quotes and share with the world in his honnor.
Robin Stockfelt (MSWorld staff)
Although I never had the pleasure of meeting David (StoicOP to me and others at MSWorld), I will miss him. His absence from our online staff meetings was quite noticeable. This was before we learned he had been hospitalized.
Till then, Stoic! (his famous sign-off)
Charlotte Corona
I met Dave several years ago in the chat room of MSWorld. His Words of Wisdom were most enjoyable and I
looked forward to reading them.
It was a pleasure having him as a friend and support.
