Not sure what to say?

I dont know why David came to my mind. He was my roommate freshman year at UC. He let us stay at his place in Sausilito and hooked us up with some lady in San Fran who was a psychiatrist, in whose house we stayed. Then we adopted a big black dog named Brummel and went back to Ohio. I am truly shocked to find out that he is gone. I temember his brother and a guy named Wally. So sorry to find out that he is gone.

Lee, we just heard of David's passing. I have so many wonderful memories of our cousin David and am saddened by this news. David was such a fun loving and talented man. I always looked up to him. Sending love, hugs and prayers your way.

Whew! The memories of those Lowell Orchestra days, when David played the Mozart Concerto and the Faune... it was almost overwhelmingly beautiful. I put the Mozart on a program recently, and remembered standing offstage, since it was a reduced violin section, hearing David play the piece. (Didn't they make a record?) The orchestra in Japan picture will be inserted in my Lowell yearbook! Best regards to our orchestra family! Don Hurd, Cincinnati (last row, far left)

As a long time receptionist at Coldwell Banker Bon Air, David came into our office on many occasions. He was such a lovely man with an engaging smile and joyful personality; the real estate community lost someone special. Warmest thoughts to his family at this sad time.

David was one of the most relaxed, genteel and fun agents I have ever had the privilege of working with. He shared his vast expertise and knowledge freely and was always optimistic as a consummate professional. I had no idea David was a flutist and musician, but of course he would have endeavors that brought more joy to others, as he did to his real estate colleagues. David was a beautiful soul who created harmony and success. I send his family and loved ones my condolences and will...

Any of us who had the good fortune to know David had their lives touched and enriched by a someone who deeply cared about others and was as true blue as they get. Thank you, David for being a part of my life. I'll miss running into you and chatting it up on the broker's tour.

Dear David, you are missed! I met you so long ago, our first sale together in the early 90s, and you cracked me up! You were kind, happy, uplifting and professional- a great colleague across the table. You kept it light but you were very sharp on the negotiations. Your enthusiasm and joy have been appreciated and I thank you for many years of smiles and shared wit. Rest, our friend, and may your family find peace. With respect and sadness, Deborah Solvason

David, a lovely person, friend and colleague you are already missed.
