I am profoundly saddened by the passing of my dear friend and former classmate David. I enjoyed our long-distance telephone conversations when we reminisced about our days as fellow students at English High School.

David was a brilliant and good man who left us far too soon. May he forever rest in heavenly peace with the Lord.

I extend my sincerest condolences to David's family.

I knew David as far back as the early 70's having met him through Larry Finklestone, an old friend of David's. They worked together at the Prudential Bldg. As of late David and I spent hours on the phone..I will miss our lengthy conversations...David, you will be missed...so so sorry for the family

David was a dear childhood friend from our days on Park Drive in the Fenway. My mother would tell my big brother to take me with him and his friends and while he would groan about it, David would always say "You can come with us, Sis" and acted like another big brother. He was always kind and caring. When he tracked us down to reconnect over 40 years later, he called and said "Hi Sis!" I knew who it was immediately.
David had a mind like a steel trap. He remembered just about everyone and everything in great detail, bringing back great memories of our childhood adventures and escapades in the city. He was a wonderful person, caring and kind and he will be missed.
Until we meet again, David. Rest In Peace.
Sis

We were best friends from grammar school to Boston English H.S. He went on to BU and UMass Amherst for his MBA. He will be missed and I will never forget him at Fenway when Ted Williams hit his last home run in September 1960. So long my friend!

David became a good friend long after our English High School and football team days in 1967. He became my accountant in recent years and as our friendship blossomed so did our many conversations. He was the perfect 'outreach' person for many English classmates as evidenced by the number of calls I received in past few days. I will miss him and our long chats as well as his sound advice. He lived his life full.
