It´s been nearly a year since my sweet David left us. He is deeply missed. David, you will always be loved.

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and the last time we shared a meal a laugh and a tour of your home.
Farewell special work friend and thanks for the memories!

David was a frequent visitor to the Mt. Laurel Library. I loved getting to know him throughout the years--his love of history and art, his sense of humor and kindness. He would draw little doodles for me and show me his lovely paintings. He definitely made the world brighter and will be missed by all those who knew him. Thanks David for being such an amazing patron and friend.

Dr. David as we called him was one of the kindest loving caring and brilliant doctor to our daughter Angie she passed away at the age of 11. He actually carried her into the operating room at 5 1/2 months , she was born with cancer of both eyes and we were blessed to have her eleven short years. She absolutely loved and adored him and I´m so sorry to hear of his passing because he truly was one of a kind.He touch so many lives to so many people giving them the gift of sight. He Will be...

I med David when he was finishing up his residency at the Eye Hospital. My mom, Katherine Glasgow, was in charge of kitchen. I was working a summer job at the switchboard from college. I only him socially. Fascinating man. I was in the house many times, amazed at what was more a museum than a home. I'm so glad I found him even 3 months late.

Dave and I met at the Spinsters Cotillion of the Palm Beaches in December, 1962 ! We kept in touch by letter and phone through the years until recently. He was a good man and a special friend. I will miss him.

David was a unique character: bright, a jokester, a historian and a wonderful dancer. He was always up for a good party or a good story. He will be missed by friends, colleagues and many dance partners.

So sorry to hear of David passing. He was always such a delightful person. He had a sharp wit which he used to make everyone feel comfortable around him.

Saddening to he hear of Doctor D. We worked together for many years at the Eye Foundation. I have so many memories of him he was one of a kind. He was very knowledgeable in all subjects, a great teacher and friend. I called, him Doc and he called me Roc.
