It is with great sadness that I bear the news that our ExScite friend David Brigham passed away in his sleep on the morning of Sunday Dec. 16 .
A Funeral Service was held on Friday 12/21 in West Chelmsford MA Cemetery.
David worked for many years in Scitex, Creo and Kodak in various sales positions and prior to that at Agfa. He was known for his big smile, his dedication and great love of the printing industry. His gruff exterior hid a warm and caring personality and a big heart.
Our sincerest condolences to his wife, children and family.
He will be missed by us all.
