Mid 80's....Dave hired me in Cleveland. We had amazing fun....working, golfing, tipping a few and talking families. Lost touch around 90. Just learned he passed today.
Belated condolences to his family and friends.

Last night I dreamed Dave and I were talking on the phone about his latest meeting with his doctor. The news was harsh and Dave said he was indeed going to die. I said "Dave, don't you think you can beat this?' He did not answer and the phone went eerily silent. I awoke this morning and started to process Dave's death for the first time since hearing the shocking news. In all the years I was privileged to know Dave, he was never silent. He was full of life, always ready to lend advise if asked, always optimistic, full of love for his sons, Karen, and his friends, funny-his humor was at times cutting and other times "english dry." He loved music, art, history, scotch, and golf. I could go on....
It was a blessing to have known Dave all these years. Looking back, Dave and I were more like brothers. All the work related hours and days, and years spent riding with Dave around the country cemented a friendship that was again a blessing. I will miss my friend "Dangerous Dave"" A nickname I gave him years ago but for the life of me cannot remember why. All I know is he chuckled every time I hailed him with that title. It is that chuckle, and his contagious laugh that I will miss most. It a a major blow for all of us that knew him well that he was taken so soon. I will miss him and already miss him. I can only imagine how hard it is for his sons, and for the grandchildren. And Karen...-Dave use to tell me all the time what a "saint" she was and is. In Karen, Dave found true love and a friend and partner. Rest assured that Karen and the "boys" as Dave use to call his sons will be in my prayers.
What is amazing to me is that at the end of our last and sadly final phone conversation last week, Dave ended by saying "I love you man," then he repeated even more seriously "Really, I love you man!" I said "Dave, I love you too!, and hung up. "Dave, I love you man!!" You will be missed, but not forgotten. Your friend, Harry.

My thoughts and prayers are with you-Dave was an associate, friend, mentor, & fellow Penn State fan- Many good times we shared together while working at the same firm over 10 years. They are fond memories never to be forgotten- Dave may you rest in peace and watch those PSU games from the best seat in the house...

My deepest sympathy to all of you during this sad, difficult time. I was shocked to read of Dave's passing. He was a great, fun guy. I worked for Dave as his Administrative Assistant many years back. He was wonderful to work for and I'll never forget his laugh, his love of music and his impeccable taste in the way he dressed. He was so proud of his sons and always looked forward to your weekend visits. I will keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers and may Dave rest in peace.
Sincerely,
Marlene Petrone

Our condolences to the family and Karen from Dave's friends in the 'Sunday Golf League' were Dave was known as 'Money'. He was always there with the critical long putt when needed and never let his teammates down.
Dave, you will be missed, but not forgotten.
