MaryLou Mace wrote a sympathy message

“David was a 1964 graduate of EFA. I hadn't seen him in decades until he attended the 55th class reunion at Lib's in 2019. I knew David in Jr. High and also high school and recall he always had a smile on his face. And if he saw you didn't, he'd give you one of his. Rest in peace, my friend, your fight has ended. You'll always be one of the best Blue Devils and my first Afr-Amer dance partner!”
