David also loved “Doctor Who,” “Star Trek” and playing video games. He will be missed by so many in and out of ACE. However, his memory will live on through his friends and family. His roller coaster memorabilia have been donated to the ACE Archives to be displayed forever. A memorial service was held on June 5 in Loveland, Ohio. In lieu of flowers the family requests that friends please donate to Give Kids The World Village.
