We are very sad to learn of this profound loss. We knew David through the Starlite Room, where we have enjoyed great food, music and fun with friends. We especially appreciate David's role in creating Nita's surprise retirement party last August, which was such a fun evening! Our sincere condolences go to Reyman and family.
