David John Chachere

My sincere condolences to the Chachere family. I am so sorry to hear of his passing. David was a kind and generous man. Even though he hailed from New Orleans he was a true New Yorker. One of the most intelligent men I ever knew. I had sadly lost touch with him these past ten years or more and just learned of his passing via a google search. I really wish I had reached out sooner. David was/is a beautiful soul.

I just did discover this page..as I did a search for David...; sorry I got here so late...I met David (John) at Holy Cross...we became band managers of the Holy Cross High School Band...and with his charm and whit...David convinced Prof.Mannino to let us March with the Tiger Band ( in uniform) for Mardi Gras....David played the French Horn...he also once invited me to join him ushering for the Reperatory theatre of New Orleans, where I met a lot of girls. Being from an all boys High school...

I met David years ago in New York, where I was co-running a small film festival. David was one of the first people to express interest, support and insight in our endeavor. I only have fond memories of him, and his incredible film knowledge. He was a true gentleman and a beautiful soul.

David was a gentleman through and through. I met him during my New York days when I was running an independent film festival and he was always sweet, supportive and incredibly knowledgeable. He was a generous soul.

I extend my condolences to the Chachere family in this time sorrow.
I was extremely fortunate to have met David when we were both students at Columbia University. We became roommates and shared many hard times and good times. But, no matter what we were dealing with, we always found time to laugh and listen to NPR’s “All Things Considered” which David listened to religiously. We shared an apartment on 106th Street after we were locked out of our place on Central Park West. For a period...

As a longtime friend of Maria, I wish to offer my deep condolences to her and the family . I met Maria, David and the family in the 70's . Our paths did not cross much as he was soon off to college in NYC. In just a couple of meetings I knew he was so smart and bookish which I thought was an admirable quality. I think David's first car was a VW Bug we got to ride in and later we got to "borrow" it and go for many more jaunts. By that time, the front seat was missing and the floor board had...

I offer my deepest sympathies to David’s family, his wife Janet and everyone else who knew him.

David was my best friend since high school where we first met. He was perhaps the most intelligent person I’ve ever known and I learned a lot from him; but most of all, he was always there to lend an ear and offer advice to me if I asked him to.

We spent a lot of time together, especially when we were younger and most adventurous. David and I made a road trip in my 1963 VW...
