DAVID W. RABE

Dear Carole, Sam, Ted, Marian, and John, I am saddened to read of Dave's death and extend my love and support to all of you. He was a wonderful birthday twin cousin and we shared a lot of wonderful times together. May he rest in peace finally, but always know he was loved. My love to all,

On a lighter note. I will never forget Dave and the band on Community Auditions. Under the Boardwalk was a great memory to me. I have so many.

Please accept my deepest sympathies. My thoughts and prayers are with you all in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort. Dave was a very kind and gentle man whom I will always remember. May he finally rest in peace. I will never forget his gentleness and all the nice things he did and said to me, And the many long talks we had. He was a very kind person and will be sadly missed.

I was fortunate enough to reconnect with Dave about ten years ago, and I found him to be the same warm, kind and funny person he was when he was young. Also thoughtful and generous. He was a good friend and helped me so much after my mother died.
He shared with me the journey he and Carole were going through with this awful disease, MS, but he never wanted it to be all about him.
Just a wonderful person, and I join you all in missing him.

Dave inspired by being Dave throughout it all over the years. I just thought of him getting a laugh out of one of those "home inspection nightmares" slideshows he would occasionally send to me that I just came across. He is missed.

What a great picture! His smile is a perfect reflection of the kind heart he had. We will miss ya Buddy!

As a Needham HS classmate of David's, I was sad to hear the news of his passing, though we hadn't been in touch in many years. I remember that even in junior high, Dave was the essence of cool - blond hair hanging in his eyes, slight air of mystery. He was also really funny and smart, creative and musical, and a loyal friend. My sincere condolences to all of his family and friends on this big loss.
