Dear Karen: I don´t think you´ll remember me but we were friends in the 9th and 10th grade. I´ve thought of you, Irene, Golda and Yale many times thru the years and for some reason thought to google you this evening. I am so happy that you and Dave had a wonderful life together. I am so sorry for your great loss but thankfully I imagine you have an enormous amount of beautiful memories and a great deal of love surrounding you and your family. I wish you all good health during these...

Dear Karen, From time to time, I've thought about you and Dave and wondered where you might be. It's been so long since we sat in the stands at Poly and watched Kevin and Aric play basketball. I fondly remember Dave and my early days as "college deans" at Norco and Moreno Valley. Dave always had some news and/or words of wisdom to share. Sometimes it seems like yesterday when it's been nearly 30 years. Please accept my condolences and warm wishes to you, Traci and Kevin. Fond regards, Sylvia

Dear Karen,
I am saddened to hear about Coach Waxman. I played on that 1972-73 freshman team at San Jose State and the coach was a wonderful influence on my life then and to this day. I have tried to keep on eye on his accomplishments through the years from the east coast and it seemed his life had a great affect on so many. My condolences to you and your family.

Dear Karen, Although it's been many years since we've been in contact, Glen and I want to extend to you our heartfelt condolences on the loss of your incomparable soulmate, David. We mourn your loss.
Glen and Dave spent many adolescent years of friendship together, and he and I both knew him to be a model of excellence of character, warmth and generosity. Unfortunately for us, we lost touch when you moved out of the LA area. We know from the previous testimonials, as well as some...

Karen I was so saddened to hear about David. I had the honor to get to know David thru Rock Steady Boxing. I loved seeing David hitting the bag and giving it his all. He truly was a fighter. I have such fond memories of seeing him the gym. I will miss him.

Our condolences.

I've thought of Dave from time to time and recalled what a good guy he was with a friend who shared my youthful summer days playing at the Westside Jewish Community Center where Dave was a playground coach under the late great Eli Sherman. I was probably 9 or 10 and Dave, I believe, was still playing ball at UCLA. He was a big, strong fellow with an ingratiating personality. I'm sure he remained so throughout his life. Sad to hear of his passing but reading his obit in the LA Times and...

Coach Waxman was one of my all-time favorite people. He was my coach at RCC, and after I had a serious knee injury, he absolutely would not let me quit. I was not one of his top players, but he got out his calendar and charted when I would return to the team. I will remember our rehabilitation jogs around the track and the great conversations we had and the wisdom he passed on. He was a great inspiration to me. Rest in peace, Coach.
