I played with David in the Dick Santi Orchestra, and I told him I remembered him in earlier years when we worked at the Aetna facility in Windsor. He was always a gentleman and had a fine sense of humor.

I am grateful to have had the chance to meet and perform with Dave in 2018 in the ECHO big band. He was such a nice guy, and a great trumpet player. My sincere condolences to his family and to his many, many friends.

David was my very best friend at Mary Abbot grammar school. I was always welcome in his home on Myrna Ave. We went to Crosby and played in the band together. Ken drove us to Crosby every morning. Dave just "friended " me several months ago. So sorry to hear of his passing.
