Dr. Dave was a fine physician and a very good colleague at Packard Community Clinic! RIP Dr. Ginsberg!

Dave was a wonderful caring man, I loved to go to his house and listen to him play the guitar. My Mom and I send our deepest sympathy on your loss.

Dave was always caring and always funny. Rarely without a smile or a kind word for others - a true gentle man. We treasure the wonderful times together. With much love to you all during this very sad time. Margaret, Scott and Lee Ramsay

I knew Dr. Ginsberg at the VA. One of the most dedicated physicians I know. A real friend and gentleman. Missed him when he left the VA and Cleveland

I was honored to have been one of his patients. Great man, kind, knowledgeable and a good human being. RIP

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
