I have fabulous memories of Dave, a great friend to my father and mother, Kirke and Sandra. Growing up my sister and I always enjoyed visiting our surrogate uncle that always treated us so kindly, like family. As we grew he remained very special in our hearts and always touched us with his kindness as he was there for us sharing and acknowledging our life's events such as marriage and the birth of our children.
We are so very sorry to hear of your loss and our deepest sympathies to your family.

I was very sad to hear of David's death and know that he is in a better place. I too have many great memories including bumping into him in NYC in Times Square lining up for rush Broadway tickets. What are the chances?? My love to you Lynda and his whole family. Please know that you are in my heart and thoughts. RIP David.

I only met Dave once, at Andrew's 40th birthday, but I certainly felt like I knew him from all of Andrew's stories! I am so sorry for you Andrew and your whole family.

My condolences to Dave's entire family and close friends. I first met Dave when we were both actors doing the rounds.

Bumped into him from time to time and in the last few years got to know him better at dinner parties at our mutual friends Marsha and Tom Reber. Rest In Peace Dave. We will all miss your smiling face.

I am so sorry to read of Dave's death. I used to work with him many years ago when I was an advertising writer and he was working with us as a voice-over announcer and as an actor. He was always very professional yet friendly and fun. He was one of my favorite people to work with. My condolences to his family and friends.
