Not sure what to say?

How shocked I am to learn of David's passing. As many have written, David epitomizes the gentleman and his passing is a loss for all. I knew of David from my time living at 1600 Webster St, where we often passed each other coming and going, but never formally met. Over a decade later, I ran into David as he was buying dim sum on Clement (Good Luck Dim Sum - David clearly knew the best and most authentic spots) and I finally introduced myself. David was courteous and, while waiting in...

On December 13 we celebrated what would have been David´s birthday. Best friends enjoyed his favorite dinner in my home. Nancy H

I will always remember your wonderful laugh and joy in our days of study and fun today at USF together. Blessings on you your family on their loss. Suzanne Nolan

Dave is missed by all who knew him. His photo could be used next to the word "gentleman " in the dictionary. Intelligent, personal, considerate and friend are just a few of the words that he exemplified. God´s Speed Dave.

I was fortunate to meet David when I moved into 1600 Webster St in San Francisco. He was a really fun neighbor to have!

I, too, love to mix cocktails, so I was delighted to...

David and I go back to 1979. We were both new hires at SP Communications in Burlingame. Though our careers brought us to different paths and geography (David stayed near to his hometown, while I ventured back to NY and subsequently Toronto), we remained very close. I will miss him.

I remember meeting David as part of our lunch group on the lawn in front of the Harney Science Center at USF in 1971 where he was always witty and spot-on with his humor. A year after graduation, he hosted a dinner party for classmates Alan & Ruth who were set to be married. In addition to organizing a wonderful sit-down dinner for a dozen of us on Robinhood Drive, David also demonstrated his skills as a bartender, offering to make everyone their mixed drink of choice-a Martini, a...

I am heartbroken to know David is gone--he was the loveliest man and the only friend I could always count on to come to my parties!
