David Pogue

David was such a delight as a jazz enthusiast and art collector. The Pogue home that I remember was beautiful and filled with creativity.

I have belatedly learned of David's passing. What a kind and dear man. His love of music and art and his beloved Terry was inspirational.

It is no surprise that so many people have such fond memories of Dave. He was indeed a sweet and kind man who possessed impeccable taste in everything he did and in every aspect of his behavior toward others. He was my friend through our mutual interest in audio and in jazz, and I will miss him very much. Terry, please accept my condolences.

Not a day went by where I was not immensely grateful for the opportunities and support that...

I´m at a loss for words for the wonderful, quiet, brilliant man who gave me permission to express myself through words and to excel despite no degree or expectations from anyone that I would ever succeed in any form of life. Dave was truly from another time and place. His love of music and art and his magnificent vision of a wife whose own talents were limitless were so incredibly loved and respected by me as a young woman of 21 and today at 57. Words have always been my life. My life will...

Great Mr David...

My deepest condolences to Miss Terry and Ivett for the loss of their loved one. Mr David was an amazing and truly wonderful man. He always had his beautiful smile and his sense of humor. I will miss him very much
