Not sure what to say?

So very sorry to discover the passing of Dave last year. We were neighbors when we both lived at Lake Fredrica Apts. in Orlando in 1976-77. He was such a great guy! We spent weekends around the pool with all our friends & waterskied all day on the lake. And Dave threw amazing parties & cookouts! Everybody loved him. We were all single in those days so fun times. I thought of him tonight since my son lives in Cleveland & attended the Guardians vs Toronto baseball game today. I remembered Dave...

Dave you were an amazing man and will be missed. Love you Nina and kids. You´re in my thoughts

I met Dave in the 80's. We were neighbors in the same apartment complex (Dockside). He was really a great guy. I remember on Thanksgiving I was alone with no family to celebrate with. Dave and his then wife, Jane, invited me to share in their Thanksgiving family celebration. Dave's generosity made my Thanksgiving Day truly special. Dave will be missed by a lot of friends who were truly blessed to have known him.

I met Dave in 1977 . We lived in the same complex ,Lake Fredrica, Orlando. He had a wonderful sense of humor and was a most humble person. Very sorry to read about his loss. Sincerely Frank Campisi

Dave was one of the finest men in the baseball world. He will always be remembered. My condolences go out to all the family. Jack Bloomfield
