I am going to leave instructions for my wife or kids to log in here and post should I pass unexpectedly.

This may be his FB page, looks like the last post was 2022 it indicates working for TI as a programmer for 26 years and as a Captain O-3 in the USAF as a programmer, and the link posted on his memorial page references being a Captain.

I thought this about a trip after David’s fall:

The wording in the post was a bit ambiguous.

That was an earlier fall, not the last fall in his backyard.

Dad is 88 and lives alone, falls concern me as well, he does have ladies that come in 3 days a week to help him out and I'm up there on weekends and we're on the phone.

From the memorial it doesn't list any surviving heirs such as children, parents and a sister predeceased.

I couldn't find an obit on Legacy either.

Sad to hear this. I was fortunate enough to meet with him at small SF gathering at a BBQ joint in Grapevine probably some 15-18 years ago when I went down for some Kubota training. What a super pleasant guy to speak with. Heaven is a better place now with his presence.

That is him. I met him once in Dallas and knew him on a couple other boards. Great guy.

I will miss him. His photo logs he posted were legendary.

Seemed like a lovely person.

Rest well, friend.

I loved browsing his travel photo albums which he posted regularly. Many were strong enough technically and compositionally that they could have been turned into coffee table books.

He will be missed.
