Not sure what to say?

David was my best friend in high school.

I have been so far out of the loop that I have only just now learned of David's passing. Dave arrived at WSU as a music major with zero performance background, yet he embarrassed many of us lifelong musicians with his vast knowledge of classical music. I shared a study area with Dave at the Sig Ep house where he endeared himself to all who knew him with his quick, dry wit and gentle personality. He will, indeed, be greatly missed by all who knew him.

I worked with Dave at the Music Exchange. He always made it fun to go to work. We had an outstanding time behind the counter sharing music. I will miss you!

I'll will miss his dry wit & musical knowledge.I bought a ton of records from him & Ron Rooks!I will miss both of you & the knowledge you shared.Michael Kaufman MUSIC LOVER FOREVER.

I did not know David well but we are from the same place. I never heard anything but good things about him. He was too youg.

I was privileged to know Dave from growing up in Osborne...to spending long hours...enjoying great music from his vast library...in Wichita...Heinrich, his cat supplied additional entertainment. Your generosity in friendship and sharing in the music will be sorely missed...I cherish these memories.

As another music major frat brother, knowing Dave was a privilege. His wit was unmatched and his smile was infectious, a true Golden Heart.

I first met Dave as a freshman at WSU when I moved into the Sig Ep house. He had the study area next to me, and in a drawer where most of us kept clothes, Dave had his turntable where he always played music. A year later we shared an apartment together on top of an old garage, where we constantly had music playing, including the Friday and Saturday night listening parties. Dave had such an influence on my musical career - he taught me how to listen to music, form , history, etc. I am so...

Tonight I will play the William Schuman Third Symphony in your memory. Thanks for everything, Dave. I will miss you. Your brother, Scott #170
