Not sure what to say?

It seemed as if anything or anyone worthy of any of his attention was worthy of all of his attention. An extraordinary man -- a great friend -- the most generous person I have ever known.

A memorial will be held for David on September 27th at 1 pm. at the Unitarian Society in Northampton, MA.

David was one of the first bookbinders I spoke with when I started 21ST Editions in 1998. The few times I visited him in his studio, he was always a welcome spirit welcoming me in. I very much admire David's refined and sophisticated aesthetic. His was one of the very finest. When thinking of David, the one word that comes to mind is always "gentle".
Live on gentle spirt, live on!

We were so sorry to hear of your loss. The thoughts of many are with you at this time of sorrow.

Marie,
My sincerest condolences to you and your family
