DAVID BERMAN

To Dave's family, please accept my heartfelt condolences on Dave's passing. I first met Dave when I was appointed Executive Secretary to the Burlington Board of Selectmen and Dave was Town Counsel. I always enjoyed talking with and listening to Dave --- without a doubt the most brilliant person I ever met! His memory for facts, figures and points of law was very impressive. Sincerely I am a better person for having known Dave. I will miss him, R. I. P. my friend.

Dear Margaret and family, Please accept heartfelt condolences from Dorothy and me on your greaet loss. David was a splendid poet, a man both gracious and brilliant, a true friend to many of us.

I'm glad we got to see him one last time at the Literary Festival in April, glad he gave such a powerful reading, glad to have known him, a true gentleman and a true individual. I feel blessed to...

Dear Margaret and Family

Our sincere condolences on the loss of David. Our cousin was an exceptional human being with a generosity of spirit towards all. We never stopped admiring his amazing memory he was his own Google and once admitted that he didn't have a very good forgettery. We will miss not only his wise counsel but his companionship in dining and his array of anecdotes and quotations to suit every situation. His poetry will live on and we know that your many happy memories...

My sincere condolences. May the God of all comfort strengthen you all during this difficult time. Rom 15:4
