Friends like David Bede Cassidy, M.D. are irreplaceable. The hole in our hearts is still there after six years since he was taken so suddenly, and we continue to give thanks for his life!

Although memories of the richness of David's special gifts are not forgotten after many years, it is always good to have them brought forward each year.

Five years ago today we lost David. To me, he was a faithful lifelong friend. Our high school class will gather in September to celebrate our 50th reunion, and though I have not attended since the 5th reunion, I have decided to show up to honor David and the other 40 or so classmates we have lost. Rest in peace, dear friend. Your memory is a blessing.

Each time David comes to mind, I find an added moment of vitality of mind and spirit. Thank you, David.

The first Earth Day was in part organized by David at Auburn High School. It's hard to believe that was 50 years ago....May we always remember David and his great spirit of conservation at a time when it was not a popular topic.

Three years ago David was taken from us suddenly, and as summer draws near, I still unconsciously await his phone call or text, as he always made a point of stopping in for a visit when he was back East from Kentucky, mostly in summer. It's hard to accept that he will not be stopping by again. I will miss David forever, one of the most vibrant lovers of life I have known. At this time of remembrance, I pray for his brothers, his children, his friends, and all who knew and loved him.

David's father was my childhood dentist, and Peter was my classmate in school (class of '77). I didn't know David, but knowing his parents and brothers and being an avid cyclist myself, I send my deepest condolences.

When I reached David by telephone for the last time, he was parked in his car, waiting for his beloved to emerge from a nearby house, perhaps one of her listings. We talked for around half an hour. He sounded so happy that I reported the incident to two of his other high school teachers.

David was an exceptional student in an extraordinary class of young people whom I was privileged to know in high school. Happily, he continued to stay in touch until a year ago and will surely remain a presence in the lives of all who knew him.

There are many of us who grew up in Auburn with very fond memories of times spent with the Cassidy clan. David was full of life, and one of a kind. I hope his family found comfort in their memorial ceremony and remembrances. Condolences on such a sad and tragic loss.

My Dad was one of Dr Cassidy's first patients in 1990. He took extra time and care with him. He passed in his sleep at the age of 64 in 1995. Dr Cassidy was really upset at our loss and said Dad had left a lasting impression with him...well we say the same about David. Jane Beam Johnson

My heartfelt condolences to David's brothers and all the family, as well as David's patients, colleagues, and friends. Dave and I grew up together in Auburn, Massachusetts. We met in kindergarten and graduated from high school together. I also saw him a number of times during his sojourn in California as a young Army doctor at the Letterman Army Medical Center in San Francisco. I have lots of fond memories. He was a smart, lively, and audacious guy. It's like a bright light has been extinguished.
In my current employment as a transportation planner in state government, I take a professional interest in bicycle transportation. With Dave's accident, planning for bicycles has taken on a new resonance for me. Cyclists in Kentucky could honor Dave by helping local and state governments pass bicycle safety legislation, build complete streets, and improve roadways with designated bike lanes.
I can't believe he's gone -- that caring, compassionate intelligence. Too soon was he taken from the world!

Our sincere sympathy to the family and friends of Dr. David Cassidy. He had been my doctor for twenty four years - an exceptional cardiologist and a compassionate man. Professionally, he surrounded himself with excellent staff and the best surgeons. Under the care of Dr. Cassidy and surgeon Dermot Halpin I had open heart surgery and experienced a fast, full recovery.

Sincere condolences to the family, friends, and patients of Dr. Cassidy. I have known him for years, did his transcription and a few months ago collected medical records from him. He was my mother's cardiologist when she moved to Kentucky from Illinois. A wonderful person and physician. May you rest in peace.

22 years ago my father passed away and Dr. Cassidy sought me out, where I worked with him at Central Baptist, to tell me what a good man my dad was and just how much he thought of him. Now I want to do the same and let you know what a kind and caring man/physician Dr. Cassidy was and how much respect I truly had for him! May God comfort you and give you peace in your loss!!

I shall never forget first meeting Dr. Cassidy. A new RN at the time he sensed my uncertainty and graciously took time to teach. As years rolled on he continued to always encourage me to grow both personally and professionally. Many conversation we had with his advise being to advance my degree " because you will be going places". I sought his council on a career move and received the nicest reference letter in answer.
My prayers go out to his family. Thank you for the sacrifices you made allowing him serve and care for his surrounding community.

David and I grew up together in Auburn, Massachusetts, and the rich storehouse of sometimes tragic but mostly comical memories of events and people from our childhood and youth have been foundational to our individual and shared identities. David was instrumental in introducing me to my wife Carol 40 years ago in Maine (see attached picture), and in spite of geographical separation, thankfully we kept in close touch over the many intervening years. He was one of my closest and most faithful friends, and we shared many deep confidences along this great, though much too brief, journey together. Like all of us, David was far from perfect, but he had a heart of gold, a firm and childlike faith in God, and a fierce and unshakable love for his children. I am sure he drew on these personal qualities in caring for his patients. I am grieving, remembering, and praying with his family, friends, and patients as you gather to mourn this huge loss and celebrate David's life. With love and blessings, Rev. Dr. Thomas John (Tom) Hastings, Princeton, NJ
