DAVID GROVE

David and I graduated the same year from Syracuse University. Back then, he was the quiet guy with the shy smile observing the foolish antics of his classmates at frat parties.

Condolences- David was an inspiration and deeply inspired us illustrators. A shining light who will live on in his beautiful work. peace to you

My deepest condolences. David was a neighbor of ours since his moving into North Beach. We all kind of grew up knowing the tall lanky guy with the cool Jag. We all had neighborhood friends in common and he will be greatly missed on Union and Kearny. Chuck, Vic and Toni Candia

I still have the April, 1981 Communication Arts Magazine which showcased his superb illustrations. He's up there along w/ Bernie Fuch, Bob Peak & Robt.Heindel; the best of the best illustrators; my condolences for his passing.
