Renee, Scott and all of the family. I consider myself lucky to have had the opportunity to meet your dad. He was such a devoted husband and father and had an awesome sense of humor. He could also belt out the songs. I will have you and your family in my thoughts and prayers in the days and weeks ahead. May God continue to bless you.... Matt

Dave was such a genuinely nice man who always welcomed you with a smile, had wonderful stories and jokes to tell, and a great voice, which was truly entertaining. He will be sorely missed.
Our sincere condolences to Dave's entire family. Thank you so much for introducing Dave into our lives. God Bless.

I grew up with Dave, knew his entire family, and was best man at his wedding. We both went to Johns Hopkins University, were fraternity brothers,and he was the vocalist in my 13- piece orchestra. We also played football and baseball together on the Harford Athletic Club team. I wish his family the best of everything; May God continue to bless them all, Dick Depkin

David was just an amazing guy. I had so much fun performing his song requests at Seasons52 in Naples. His favorite song? "Call Me"...........I will miss seeing him! Carl Evans
