March 1, 2024 Remembering David and Sheila today. Always in our heart. We saw them at Gallery H openings in Three Oaks MI and I will never forget the two-person art exhibition we mounted at Wells-Fargo Corporate Office in Chicago. Everytime we pass a little eatery in Greektown where we would have infrequent breakfast conversations, we think of David and Sheila.

So sad to now learn of Davids passing. The tribute describes him beautifully. an amazing patient teacher who was generous in spirit and sharing his skills I too am so rich from the honor and privilage of having known him. Dom Costabile

I manage the health club that David and Sheila belonged. I only knew him after the stroke. We shared many conversations about Sheila after she passed, all with a tear in his eye. He was an inspiration to me and my staff. Even with the obvious effects of the stroke he never stopped. Our condolences to the family.

Dave and I first met at Glen Ayre Tennis Club in 1978. We played many years with and against each other with many fun times. We went to some White Sox games together as we both were big fans of the Southsiders. Dave was a fun guy to be with and always had a smile on his face and I never saw any meanness in him. May he Rest In Peace.

Jim & Dave practiced together at CDH. They also played tennis together at the Wheaton Sport Center. We were so sorry to hear of his passing. We always enjoyed fun times with Dave & Shelia! Steven, you may remember us from a ski trip to Park City with your Dad. Dave was a great guy!

David and I met through Gallery H where Sheila and I were represented for about ten years. We shared our knowledge of the fine arts and had a few brunches together too. I had as two-person show at Wells-Fargo Corporate with Sheila. David and I always had great conversations whenever we saw each other. David was the real deal...he was a remarkable guy.
