Hard to believe he´s gone a year now. He was kind enough to visit me and we would have nice conversations. Sometimes bring a dog who I would give it a baseball to chew on. A tough loss for all who knew DD.

I knew David since he was 12 year old kid. I played baseball with him for years and I was his talent agent for commercials also. He was a favorite of my father Hank Robinson as well as his baseball coach. A great person and a terrific ballplayer. We both played for Bakersfield of the California State league in pro ball. He will be missed. RIP

He was a terrific, friendly person and I'm very sad to hear of his passing.
