Nick M is now there too-have some laughs. We love you guys

David a most unforgettable character a legend in his own time in the Spokane and North Idaho bar and resturant scene
I was proud to call him my long time friend truly a "one of a kind " Keep playing that trumpet in Heaven if you were lucky you had a few personal wonderful fun memories shared with David

Countless memories flashing thru my mind on the passing of my great friend, David. From our childhood where our families ( my loving Grandparents the Rices ) lived on the opposite ends of the same block ( River. St ) to this finality.God Bless you David.You were one of a kind and forget you not. Your dear friend, Patrick "Wheels " Wheeler.Pat

I met Albertini when I was 20 years old. He was then like a big brother. Watching over me and making sure I was doing ok. After I married a 2nd time I saw him at the bars here and there. Always a big hug and a smile and always "how ya doin" He was truly one of a kind. We surely could use more Dave´s in this world

Worked in the kitchen at theSkylark in Spokane back in the mid 70´s. Dave was a constant and always "holding court" on the bar. I remember "Thumper" and a few others-what a really great time we had. I only wish I´d seen him here in later years. Blessings Dave-you were one of a kind

One of a kind has become an oft used cliche but this man, David Albertini, was absolutely, unequivocally, one of a kind. Condolences to the family. I´d love to get in contact with Dave, Jr.

Gonzaga Law School 77-80 was a great deal more tolerable because of time spent watching Mr Albertini shine his light on the masses. Some of my aquaintances had prolific Bar Talents on so many levels, but it was his sage advice I have never forgotten: Better to Be a Creator of Memories than Just a Memory.

I worked at the Skylark in the 80's. One of my favorite memories was David and Jimmy Flaherty singing " Rockin Robin". What a duo! Never a St. Paddy's day goes by without memories. Thank you David for always being so kind. Especially to me and "Dickie the Spinner" Rip
