Thanks Mike and Mark for flying out to David's funeral. Please pass along all of our condolences.

One more example of David's way as a dealer: After he sold me the Soulution 520/501 separates he asked if I was ready to step up from the Raidho D2's to the D3's. I told him I was very interested but at I was afraid that the D3's would over-pressurize my 12x16 listening room.

David had told me that now that I had the right electronics that this would not be an issue. David could sense my hesitancy.

He made the generous offer to have one of his guys make a three hour trip to my Austin residence with his D3's. If I didn't like them I didn't have to buy them. David's guy set them up and I set about the audition. I knew in about 10 minutes that he was right all along.

David was very generous with his time, judgment and resources.
 
I didn't know this Gentleman, but from all of your kind words it sounds like anyone that didn't know David missed a great friendship opportunity.

My condolences to David's family and friends. Hope you can be well in due time.
 
This is so sad.

I spoke with David several times over the past year and he couldn't have been nicer or more generous with his time. A true gentleman.

Condolences to all who knew him.
 
Mark and Mike,

So sorry about David's passing. Mark and I spoke spoke about David and his health many times.

I did not have the opportunity to meet him. We did exchange messages via AS. Always seemed like a very nice person.

Clearly, David touched many lives. While he will be missed, he's now resting. ALS can be a terrible illness.

If there's anything we can do for the family, let us know.

I want to say thank you to everybody for their kind words,thoughts and prayers. I have tears in my eyes from reading these.

Meeting David was one of those once in a lifetime things. I was always glad I introduced him to Mike, and that led to a lot of you knowing him also. He loved our hobby,and the people in it.
 
Such sad news. I only knew David from speaking over the phone or emails, but he was such a nice person.

He will be missed. RIP, David.
 
Just a quick update. Mark and I attended David's funeral in Tyler Texas yesterday. It was a beautiful ceremony, David would have been pleased with all the kind words that were said and the wonderful video they played showing pictures of his life as a Father, husband, golf professional and professional motor cross rider. They were sure to play David's favorite song, Simple Man.

David's Brother-in-law gave a wonderful speech about David. He was a fearless competitor, but always put family first and was so giving of his time.

David's wife is a rock. She is an incredible woman who was so strong yesterday and throughout their life together - especially the past near 6 years David struggled with the horrible disease - ALS.

We told his wife about all the wonderful comments and support from so many people here on Audioshark.

There's no more suffering for our friend. He's in a better place now.
 
Mike and Mark -

Thank you for attending. I'm sure the family appreciated you been there.

Rest in peace David.

Sad news indeed. ALS is not only hard on the person but those surrounding them who have to watch with no control as the disease progresses.my condolences to all who knew David.

As Mike has said, Saturday we said goodbye to a dear friend. Knowing David and Keri as well as I did, it was one of the hardest days of my life. I tried hard to hold it together, but I just lost it when I saw Keri and the children. We did get to talk with Keri some after the service, which was very nice. Mike and I asked if there was anything we could do, but Keri assured us that David had taken care of everything before he left us.
Overall it was a great service, and a nice tribute to a good man.

I will miss him, but I won't forget him.
 
A great human being....Gone too soon...All the best to his family... Too many of us personally know just how terrible a disease it is ...
