Not sure what to say?

Thanks Dave for giving me an opportunity to play for your Norwalk CT Blues Baseball team. Great memories RIP.

David was a neighbor of mine when I was wee lad growing up on Elliott Street. He mentored me and fostered my love for baseball, along with his brother, Brian, who hit me thousands of fungoes at the lot alongside Dorlon's Restaurant. I never had a chance to thank him for all the memories as well as being a batboy for the traveling hardball baseball team when I was 13-14. So long, David, and thank you. You are not forgotten. RIP

Rest in peace, Dave. You were a fine coach and a true lover of baseball. You will be missed by
many fellow baseball players and friends. If there's a game going on in Heaven, we know you'll
be playing in it.

Dave, you were a great friend and I will miss you on the ball fields and at Stone Crab games. You were always a great hitter and I remember one game in which you crushed a ball past me while I played third base. I retrieved the ball and handed it to you stating "Dave, that was your 3000 hit and you will now be in the hall of Fame". We all had a great laugh. Well Dave, I hope to see you one day and play ball again with you in heaven. Thank for great memories.

A man of great kindness and simplicity

Dave, I just learned of your passing at this late date and wanted to express my condolences to you r family. We've known each other over 30 years first on the east coast and then on to Port Charlotte. I will certainly miss the calls and stories about baseball and the auto parts business. Much of the success I've had was thanks to contacts you gave me. Thanks. I know we will meet again. Until then Godspeed my friend.

Dave Power: A gentleman in the truest sense.

He loved his family and his baseball. He believed in competition, and celebrated being able to play the game with an unabondoned joy. His love baseball was infectious; seeing him in his uniform on the field, you knew all was right and that a Buch of guys were going to have fun.

Dave's graduation to the next phase of his life leaves a hole in ours. However, we have great memories of him and he leaves a legacy of baseball...

Brian...I was saddened to learn of Dave's passing. We had stayed in touch over the years, exchanging Christmas cards, and it was always so good to hear from him. I have wonderful memories of your parents, Elaine and "her brothers" and extend my sincerest sympathy to you and your family. Dave was a special guy...
