To my DEAR friend David Anderle, I cried all last night learning of your passing. You were my true friend. You were like my big brother my dad and a person I could always come to for advice. I thank God for the 25 glorious years of our friendship! Love You Big Dave

I first met David in early 1977. 20 years his junior, I was still in my teens and a probationary new hire at the popular radio show "Casey Kasem's American Top 40." I visited David at his office at A&M Records to discuss the success he was having as the producer of Rita Coolidge's first hit single, but we ended up talking about his entire career, music in general, and his pivotal role in the Beach Boys' history in the mid-to-late '60s.

He could not have been nicer or more...

You have my deepest sympathy. May the God of loyal love comfort you and the family during your time of sorrow. Psalm 119:76

David and I went to Louis Pasteur Junior High School. We kept in touch all through high school, the navy and college. He was a really good buddy of mine, as was his and my good friend Abe Sommer. I have the fondest of memories.
