Oh, how I miss "David-y." It feels like not a day goes by that I think of his humor and love. Having memories that carry you each day in a person's presence OR absence make their time here (and mine) the best gift of all. Thinking of you, "Hugh" – "Mia" xoxo

For all the hundreds of hours of joy you gave me David knowing you.
I am making this recipe you gave me down in your Kent apartment as you were making it for a date you were having later that evening.
It’s a slow cooker beef and Lipton onion soup recipe.

Young Love
David had just broken up with that pretty redhead in the photo.
He was head over heels for her. I think her name was Teresa.
He took someone out to go see a movie at the theaters in Renton.
Yuen lui photography had a advertisement on the screen for business promotion. It was a full size screen image of her. She was beautiful.
David didn't enjoy the movie, but I am sure the date never knew.
That night he can over to share his woes, I think we got drunk.
I was always jealous of David, he always had women in falling in love with him. I just had my dog. Even my dog loved David.
Miss you David.

Dave was in a few of my classes at Meeker Jr High. He was so sweet and I thought he was so darn cute with those big blue eyes! May God be with you and carry you through this time of loss.

I met Dave when he was sixteen and I was 29. We worked together at the Renton Printery. He became our "Little Davey" to my co-worker and I. He found out I was alone with three children and decided I needed to be looked after. His heart was as big as the moon. He came and colored with my son, who at the time was 5 years old. Even after the Renton Printery we remained friends. We would lose track of each other and then one of us would call the other. I have never in my lifetime met a person with a warmer heart.
One time he came to where I worked and gave me a Christmas CD he had made. Boy, was I in for a surprise. It was Christmas tunes alright, but with wording I had never heard. I laughed all the way home.
We had so much laughter. Dave made everyone laugh. Everyone. Even when he was in the hospital. He had awesome quick wit. And a radio voice. He used his radio voice on me a lot.
I will miss answering the phone to "Don't be alarmed, it's only me" and the "love you's" as we hung up. Let's face it, I will just miss my buddy.

I went to school with Dave from 3rd grade through high school, and we lived in the same neighborhood. One thing I remember about him is that he always seemed more grown-up than most kids. Children can be cruel to each other, but I don't remember Dave ever being mean to anyone. He seemed to be above all that. My condolences to his family and friends.

Barely knowing the man since HS leaves me with just 40 year old memories, but he was a man who walked toward you an open mind, walked astride as a friend and compadre. Sincere condolences to family, his close relations and those who truly knew the man.

I met Dave when he was "putting ink on paper" at Technaprint in Issaquah. Told him he had "bedroom eyes". He'd never heard of that and I told him that's what my mom always called them. A couple years later, we were having lunch in a cafe with young Brandon. Brandon was standing on the booth seat, staring at the elderly couple (in their 80s) behind us when the woman says to her husband..."oh look, honey, that little boy has bedroom eyes!" That Davey-O and Brandooner - such a team!

Love the pics! Guessing this is our Jeffy!? Working on more. Hope to connect with you, Jeff, and his so-loved pals soon. I know all the names but "he always protected the innocent!" Can not believe the huge trail of memories, times, humor and love he made for us all. xoxo

Hugh..had to pick an option so I "lit a candle." (Liquor, Videos, Tampons and Candles!) What else could I do? xoxo

Thanks for sharing, made my day. Yes, I too was "one of his friends outside his circle of friends." I think perhaps he was more of a collector of these than any of us knew. So missed. xoxo
Many, many, many Happy times together

Tap tap tap on my window I would hear about 1130 to 12 at night.Hey are you awake hey Bill wake up!
No man, I'm asleep go away.
This is how our evenings usually began. David would come into my downstairs room in my parents house, the Abode. We would sit for hours in front of my fireplace in my awesome bedroom and we would talk usually till about 4am.
I don't think anyone knew of this, I was kind of his friend outside his friendships. That was cool with me because I just loved being with him. It was always that way. I would see him late at night, down at the printers, or up at my Renton highlands apartment.
I loved to see David, but after about my 20th birthday our ways parted. I never heard from him again until I just read this posting I stumbled upon.
David probably gave me the best advice of my life. Bill never do cocaine he told me. Why not I asked? Because Bill I know you and you will like it and find the money to buy it. He was right so I took his advice.
Thank you for all the loving memories David, you were a great example on how to love people.....Bill Cullins
