Family, friends, colleagues, and students, will tell you David ALWAYS made us laugh. His shenanigans kept us on our toes. His laugh was infectious. David always listened, and we all know he was quite the talker, too.
As one friend so eloquently stated, “I think you can tell a lot about a person by their attitude, but even more, when their attitude changes you for the better. I can still hear David now, saying, ‘YOU can do this!’”
David’s visitation will take place from 9:00 a.m to 10:45 a.m. on Saturday, March 9th, 2019, with funeral services to follow at 11:00 a.m. at Landmark Church (1231-1600 Glendale Milford Road, Cincinnati, OH 45215).
