Rest in peace Dave. I wish things could have been different. You will be missed by your family and friends. I'll keep that '82 Corvette you sold me back in 1987 nice and clean.
This is the David many of us met in high school.

I hadn't seen Dave in a no. of years, but I used to enjoy seeing him at the auctions and was deeply sorry to learn of his passing. We used to bid on the same cars and have fun doing it. I will miss him. A class guy.

In life we can grow so far apart, and yet in death, we seem to close the gap of time. I hadn't seen David for at least 35 years, but I remember as children we played in the playground at Cheltenham Elementary -- that too is no longer there, but my fond memories of our childhood will always bring me joy and make me chuckle. Your Husband/Dad was fun and funny. He will be missed, but he really is still here in our hearts.

Oh! I am so sad to hear of David's passing - the world is off kilter. I loved seeing David's posts on facebook and looked forward to the oft-changing profile pic. I enjoyed his bantering with Billy and protests of being de-friended because I could feel the love between them. And I felt so loved and cared for when he'd contact me because he hadn't heard from me in awhile.... David, thank you for being so wonderful (even when I wasn't) and for humoring me with your witty observations. I hope you're enjoying good times with Frank! Alexandra and Billy: you are in my thoughts. Though I never met you, I "heard" David's love for each of you in his fb postings. Lucky you! Lucky us!

I am so sorry to hear that David passed. He was a delight in high school and then he just lit up facebook when we 'remet' online. It was clear that he embraced life and his interests and that made me so happy.

I was so glad to meet David on facebook as I was always curious about my second cousin who was born in the same year as me, and who went to the same high school. I miss our facebook exchanges, miss you, and miss that we didn't get a chance to meet each other in person. You expressed such passion for life and now there is an empty space where you were- I can only imagine the loss your family and close friends have and my deepest sympathy to them.
October 26, 2012
I am so sorry. My prayers are with all of you. David & I had been talking on Facebook recently chatting about the good old days. May he rest in peace. Caryn segal

We are so saddened by David` s passing. I knew David since Roosevelt Blvd when I was a child. I have visited with David over the years when he had his auto lot on York Road and have continued our friendship on Face Book. David was a great guy and truly and earnestly cared about people and even supported me during my walks for ALS. David will be sorely missed.
God Bless the entire Farber family and may the warmest memories of David sustain them through this painful trial. You are in my kindest thoughts and prayers Vickie, Jack and Ellen, as I knew you for many years.
