David A. Tidyman

I'm glad our paths crossed in this life, David. Hope to catch you in the next one.

It does my heart good to read so many lovely and loving thoughts from friends of David. He was 2 years older. We struggled as kids; with each other, for attention, who's turn to do the dishes, and me having to wake him up. He would sleep through ice water poured on his back. We rode bikes, went swimming and hung out until he decided to pour his life into music. My interests were elsewhere. The last time we hung out as kids, adolescents actually, was the day my dad died at home. Dad...

Good bye David. I'll miss you. Starbucks hasn't been the same.

I am so sorry and sad. David and I spent our college years as friends. His love of music and his church families ment the world to him. He was an inspiration and loved dearly

I´m so sorry to see this! David was such a musical talent and I really enjoyed working with him at St. Angela´s on all different kinds of Masses. God bless him and his family. May his memory help ease the grief of all who loved him.

I knew David when teaching at St. Angela's and became friends. I appreciated his sense of humor when planning class masses and our family was blessed to have him play at our daughters 's weddings. Rest in peace my friend.

It was an honor to know David for many, many years, first as our choir director at St. Angela Merici, but more importantly as a valued friend with whom I walked through good times and not so good times. My heartfelt condolences to David's family, to R.V., and to all who knew and loved him. May the choirs of angels receive him.

I met David in 1993. At the time, we were both teaching at the Riverside Academy of Music in Lakewood, and we became fast friends. As a young composer in my early twenties, David was so encouraging and kind. Among the many things he shared with me was how to compose for the harpsichord, as well as introducing me to some of the extraordinary repertoire written for it, particularly the French baroque music of Couperin, Rameau, and Royer. David was a consummate and exceptionally gifted...
