Dear Sue - I heard from Kathy Douglas of Dave's passing. I will always recall his great sense of humor, especially while at the pool on Charlton Avenue. We all had such fun times together ! Please accept my sincere condolences.

Dear Sue, I am so sad to hear about Dave's passing. I will always remember him as a Dad and Grandpa who LOVED his family. I always felt welcomed when I happened by on your visits just down the block from us. He was a real mensch and I am fortunate to have been blessed by his presence. I'm sending you (and Amy, Lance, Nick, Maija, Lia, and Natalie) lots of love, hugs, and strength. Take care and know that I'm thinking about you. <3
