I was crushed to hear David had died. He was one of the sweetest, most talented people I know. I can only imagine him painting new colors in heaven right now. I sent my heart felt condolences to his family.

I thoroughly enjoyed my 10 years of working with Dave at Monroe Litho. He was the easiest sales person there that I dealt with as production manager. A true gentleman.

My deepest sympathy to Dave's family and freinds. I had the pleasure of meeting and getting to know Dave as a fellow veteran. He was an exceptional man who was kind, talented and very proud of his family. Dave was truly a poster boy for the "Greatest Generation". I know his spirit will live on in those he touched. God Bless...

Although I never had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Mancini, I was given a copy of his Lost Diary, his very gripping account of his wartime experiences, by his son, Dave Mancini. Dave, my condolences to you and your family.
