From Carlo:
I wont forget you David, nor your son. I remeber the story David told me as to why you guys were in Hawaii, and I was surprised when your family moved back to the area where David and you were from, due to that court thing…You guys came to Lanai and drove my truck, spent some time, then I left my Harley at your house when I left town…then came back..I remember the big ole cane spider on my motorcycle..David showed me that it was a harmless Cane Spide…i wont forget him nor you nor your son…take care of your son, and yourself….unfortunate thing,,,life goes on, make the best of it…..I am sorry I could not see the three of you again.
I got married to a wonderful Chinese lady from Honolulu, named May , Lia Fung Ping, now May Marchetti. been married for two years now.
From Carlo…I moved to Maui, went broke in Lanai after the strike…still in Maui..still teaching SpEd..living in a two bedroom house with my wife…
The best neighbor I have ever had, he was always there to lend a hand with anything that needed to be done. He helped me with my race car without ever being ask, and his automotive knowlege was extensive. When he moved out his landlord not only gave him is deposit back but an extra $100 because of the work he did to the house and yard; I have never seen that happen to anyone else in my life! A true example of what a great man he was. He hated leaving Maui, but he did so to make better life for his wife and son. I feel privileged to have known him.
Joni and I still have trouble accepting what happened. One of most special people I’ve ever known and ever will know. We loved, respected and admired him and will hold him dear forever.
We were very sorry to hear of the loss of a precious son husband and father. Jesus is the resurrection and life! The Gregg Family
Man, I am truly sorry to find this out. I think David was a truly kind and beautiful man and was a great contributing part to our community and lives, he was kind to me at my lowest, and always was understanding. He will be missed and my my condolences go out to you all.

A lot of crazy nights hanging out, be it at the 5 Point, Mecca or what have you. One of the best bartenders I’ve ever had the honor to witness and an affable and funny person to boot. The sorrow cannot defeat the good memories. Rest well my friend.
My thoughts and prayers go out to your family. I have great memories of Dave at The Mecca. We used to go see him after band practice back in our old Local 808 days. I am so sorry for your loss.
I knew David a very long time ago — and have a lot of amazing memories — and was so happy to hear from him last fall, after so many years. Terresa and Adrian, my heart goes out to you… I remember babysitting Adrian as a baby. David was so proud of him and wanted to be such a good dad. My love to all David’s family… he was intensely smart, funny, kind, loyal, self-depricating… I wish I could honor him today with my presence, but I am too far away. I hope you are at peace, David. My thougths are with everyone who loved him.
We are so sorry for your loss of David. We are praying that God will give you peace and surround you with His love. One of our best memories of “Daav” was that he could memorize huge passages of scripture. It was amazing!! Faith and Pete…he hid God’s word in his heart! Sending our love to you and your whole family!! You are in our thoughts and in our prayers.
My thoughts and prayers are with your wife, son and the rest of the family. May you rest in peace.
Pease be with you my old friend, you will be truely missed.
You better be saving us all a seat at the bar in the afterlife…we will meet you there eventually. In the mean time, you are dearly missed and thought about everyday.
Dave lifted me off my feet in a bear hug every time he saw me. Every time. He always asked about my health, work, what I was up to. Eagerly curious about everything, it seemed. Sharp, caustic wit. He seemed so connected to so many people. I’ll miss him terribly. My condolences to his family and many friends.
April is the cruellest month…
Although I cannot attend today’s services, I will be there in spirit. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
You were a ray of light on the cloudiest day. Hope you found the peace you were seeking. Cheers!
Faithie and Pete…love you . Thank God that Jesus gives you peace. So many years of loving David and so many more years of loving him still. He is now safe in Jesus arms..
David was always loved and will be remembered in love. Perhaps now is the time to tell those whom we love that they are loved now. I’ll miss you David and your memory will always be a part of my life. And to Tereasa and Adrian, my heart breaks for you and you will be in my prayer. I ask for Gods’ grace and strength in your lives. His love can sustain you!
Dear Terresa and Adrian, David was a very special person that always greeted us with the happiest smile and most charming greeting. He’s a great ray of sunshine that will always be with us.
OH david…. you will be missed.
I hope you have all the peace you wanted in life. My deepest condolences to those who survive him….
I will always remember David’s wicked humor and wit. A charm of a person.
My God grant you peace during this time of extreme sorrow.

I am so saddened to hear this. I will always have some great school memories if Dave.
My thoughts are with David and his family.
Dearest Family. I cannot even begin to tell you how David will be missed so much. God Bless you all and may His Spirit guide all of us during this time of grief. Take care of each other.
you were always my favorite.
rest in peace, my friend.
I remember all the good times our families had together. You and Gayla roller skateing together hand and hand. The last time we saw you in Seattle at the restaurant. May you finally have peace. We love you. Sheri
Ladle will keep us together.
sorry for your family loss, thoughts & prayers for you all
I have been very sad after hearing the news of David’s passing. So many of us love him and will miss him. rest in peace, David.
Just that we’ll all miss your happy beautiful presence…
David saved my life so many years ago by being the one bartender in town who made me feel like I was welcome every time I walked in the door. He almost single-handedly re-invented the business for Dick Smith, and Dick was wise enough to let him do it. He was more than that, though, he was a good man and a trustworthy friend. The space he filled in my world is now so damned empty.
David, you will be missed more than words could ever express.
You are so missed I wish you were still here.
The lives we lead are our own greatest guru’s. Your time spent will be carry on in countless fond memories in many!!
I have many awesome memories of David, especially back in the day when we LARGE family of friends all first met & spent so many incredibly fun days together in a great city full of adventure~ he is truly missed & I love him eternally!!
Peace and Be With You David.
Healing Be With The Family.
Uncle Jim & Lynette

Dearest David, Your star shown brightly here on earth. We needed you here awhile longer and miss you terribly. Looking forward to seeing you in heaven where you are free from all of life’s burdens. Lovingly, Aunti Joy
You were a true friend, a brother, it was and is an honor to have known you David. You will never be forgotten.
I have no words that will ever explain what you have done for me. I thank God for you and pray that brings peace over your family.
My heart aches for your family David. You will be greatly missed!! I love you xoxo
You were nothing but an abusive drunk who tried to teach me lessons with your fists. You couldn’t even teach me how to tie my shoes without trying to hit me. Anyone who thinks that you’re a good person has been lied to. You were nothing but an empty husk of alcohol and cigarettes.
I’m glad you told me that you were going to kill yourself. I knew you were going to do it. I didn’t stop you, and I still do not regret that. I definitely made the right choice. I should have killed you in self defense when you broke your finger against my head during one of your rotten alcoholic benders.
Rot in hell, and I hope all of your shitty alcoholic friends join you there.
1/5 stars, wasn’t a good father. Wouldn’t want to be his child again.
