“Have the pleasure of
Meaning what you sing
Oh, make no mistake, my friend
All of this will end
So sing it now (sing your life)
All the things you love (sing your life)
All the things you loathe (sing your life)
Oh, sing your life”

David was one of the nicest guys you could know. Always tried to help everyone in any way he could! He was a great cousin who will be missed.
He was also a big ham who made everyone laugh.

I’ll truly miss David! He drew my attention with his “dark humor” when we first met at DuPont, then moving onto QPS he trained me in many basics, being few days ahead of me. He continued helping me in many occasions over the many years. Hope in our last conversation I provided some help in return. Thank You David and be happy over there!

David has a big heart, and I will miss his fine tuned sarcasm.

I had the pleasure of working with David for his entire QPS career. He was a constant source of humor and wit to all of us in the QPS family. Always there with a lending hand (and a snarky remark), and he was well-liked by everyone that he encountered. David will certainly be dearly missed. I pray that God’s peace surrounds David and his family during this challenging time.

I’ll miss David. He is so willing to help others.
It has been many years since Dupont days and QPS years.

David was a ray of sunlight at work. He was perhaps the best dressed and best smelling man I have ever known. He would breeze in, have you laughing with his wicked sense of humor and maybe a even a petite shoulder massage. He always made time to answer my questions and was especially helpful when I first started at QPS. I was lucky to have known him and memories of David will always make me smile.
