Remembering his smile and laugh. Such a great musical talent and sweet soul

Dave was an extraordinary Renaissance man. Tom and I were invited to dinner one evening to their home, where we were lavished with delicious food and beer, and then Janet served a gorgeous fruit flan dessert. She accidently dropped it, but it was delicious just the same. Dave had a beautiful laugh and twinkling eyes. He built his own harpsichord and it was a delightful instrument. He loved Janet so much and gleefully reported their cross country road trip love affair. I loved being involved...

Dave, you were so talented and adventurous. I loved your handmade harpsichord, and I enjoyed working with Boulder Beer at its inception.
Thank you for all you contributed.

David Hummer hired me as a software developer and computer support liaison in 1966 which provided me with 6 wonderful years of enjoyment of the JiILA and Boulder communities., He was a great boss and good friend. Martin and I send our condolences to Janet and Julius.

David was one of the most amazing men I've ever known, with an intellectual appetite and curiosity that would be the envy of anyone. I will miss him, and send my condolences to Julius and Janette.
