Not sure what to say?

Was watching the NYC Marathon yesterday in Central Park and I swore I heard Dave urging the runners up the hills! Dedication like his never dies.

I am devastated to have just learned this news. Dave was truly one of my heroes.

Dear Judy and family, so sorry and my deepest condolences. God bless.

I will miss seeing Dave at races. He ran my very first 5K with me. And how nice and lucky I was to see him in August at the Team Bloke 5K. RIP my friend. I'm running on Sunday for you.

My condolences to Judy and the Faherty family. Dave was a legendary runner, great friend and wonderful person, may He rest in peace. He will be missed.

My deep condolences goes to Faherty family. May God continue to give you comfort at this time of your loss.

Thanks a million for the many miles of smiles you gave to all of us. You are sorely missed, but we'll meet again. Save me a bagel.

My deepest condolences and prayers for Coach Faherty and his family. Dave embodied the words "leader by example". He was such a tremendous influence and inspiration for so many people. I was very fortunate to have called him "Coach". Thanks Coach for everything! Peace.
