So sorry to hear about the passing of David. It's been over 50 years since I last saw him, playing touch football on the streets of Bay Ridge with David and my old buddies from OLA (Tommie T., TC, and Jimmy L.). This group of guys were amongst the best friends in my life and I will always look back and remember, and cherish those memories.

David was a force at LCS. We loved his non-traditional style. He was intensely smart and always put things in an interesting perspective, and we are privileged to have worked with David through our partnership between LCS and GlynnDevins. Sending our condolences to the Laffey family during this time.

Although it's been nearly a half century since we last played on the streets of Brooklyn together, it was the sad news about Dave that brought three of his old Pals Jim Lawlor, Tommie Turitto and Myself to reminisce about old times on 70th street, OLA and basketball in the Laffey backyard.
He was a good kid from good people
Youre all in our prayers

Sarah,My condolences and deepest sympathy on this tragic loss. David was one of the most talented and professional individuals I ever worked with throughout my career. More importantly he was a great guy- sincere, funny and a true team player. We shared a special bond as David and I were together all day trying to navigate our way out of NYC on 9/11. We spent hours walking and waiting at the Pier not knowing exactly what was happening. We talked nonstop about our children. It was obvious to me how deeply David cared about his children and how proud he was of them. I am sure they know this, however I thought I would let you know that on that horrific day I was fortunate to have David as my colleague and friend and I will truly miss him. Please extend my sympathy and prayers to the rest of the family. Bonnie Siegal

David was my dear friend for over 25 years. The news of his passing is totally heartbreaking. I've saved his recent final voicemail and it was loving and sweet, just like him. His love for his beloved Sarah, children, siblings and friends was palpable. So many really wonderful memories but our visit to Laconia and experience in a huge storm in Lake Winnie is a standout. Sending prayers and love
