“It was with great sadness that I learned that David had lost this particular battle. In life however he sponsored and supported some wonderful firms and initiatives. He was tireless in his support of the industry that he loved and the people who worked in it. He will be sadly missed. Our thoughts are with his family and close friends at this sad time.”
