Words cannot express how sorry I am. Dave was one of the most genuine people I have ever known. His child-like heart when playing should be a template for worship. To all of you, you are in my prayers.

This is so sad... Leah, Sarah, Virgina, and Rachel... May G-d comfort you all, and be with you at this hard time.

I've known Dave since I was a little kid, he hung with my brother, they were best of friends, they did a lot of crazy stuff!

I will cherish my memories of all the good times we had together though the years.
