Remembering the good times we had with David in high school. David would always find humor despite any situation. We look forward to seeing him again in the resurrection that God will bring right here on earth. (John 5:28,29). May the God of all comfort continue to strengthen your family.

Tsgt Richard J. Trasferini (Ret) posted a condolence

Working with David was one of the high points of my life. We always had a way to make each other laugh - with a joke (of which NOTHING was off the table), a snide little comment to egg each other on over a job, or kicking back with a beer and discussing "life", in general. The third part, in particular was wonderful, as he was a very good cook and I shared many a meal with him and his family. One of his favorite dishes was Clams Casino and I have never had better. He shared with me the reason he loved clams so much was his inability to enjoy other shellfish, including crabs and shrimp. So, clams it was. Steaks, fried chicken, greens, baked beans, home-made cornbread... also among the fuel that got me home many times.
His work ethic was stellar and his ability to find a solution to any problem dropped in his lap was amazing. We fit together well, bringing many years of various technical training classes to bear on the broken challenges we dealt with on a daily basis. Countless times I would be summoned by the following phrase: "Hey, Tras… So and so wants us to (fill in any job) but 'they' already messed it up... bad... Should we try this? And they want it 'yesterday', of course." He was a tough one to cut my favorite verbal joke on (passed on from my grandfather), which is, "Two heads are better than one, even if one is a cabbage." Many times I would get "the stare", followed by, "Tras… Seriously???"
He was THAT good... but it was a joke and we laughed - then kicked butt on the job at hand. Running a bead - especially with TIG welding - was one of his specialties. One of the best.
He loved Chess, and one of his dreams was to machine out a complete set of chess pieces and make the chess board as well, all out of aluminum and brass. That, along with teaching me to be better at the game are a couple of items I do not believe were met. It was fun, however, to see his attempts, now and then... sometimes with a machine crash... followed by, "Hey, Tras… Ummmm… I got a little problem. What am I doing wrong?" In the end, it was always that we learned from each other and shared experiences.
I am going to miss his laugh which many times included a high-pitched 'ha - HA!' somewhere in there, which would echo throughout any building. And finally, no story about Dave would be complete without mentioning "Welder's Coffee".
Gonna miss you, my friend...….

RIP my love, until we meet again. You spoke of butterflies. Butterflies have a free spirit. You have a free spirit too, my love. I miss you already and I love you with all my heart.
