Mr. Gillette was, by far, my favorite teacher at Forest Hills. He made choir fun and took the time to learn about his students. Sending love and healing prayers to his family. I'm sure he's singing and smiling in Heaven.

Dave was such a kind person. I met him in choir at First Reformed Church and we always talked and laughed. He will be missed. His wife Patricia taught my children in preschool. Incredible family and God bless you with strength from above.

I had Mr. Gillette when I was at Forest Hills Central High School in Choir Class. He was a wonderful teacher and it surly showed in his love for music. Hope he will resume that calling in Heaven with the Angel's and Arch Angel's in a symphonic choir of all the Angel's up there. Peace be with you Mr. Gillett!
