I only found out about the passing of my favorite dentist and the kindest, funniest man I've ever met, today. I am so sad - he loved his Cindy, he loved his dogs, he loved his job (till retirement time) and he was just the best. I am heartbroken. He would crack me up with his stupid jokes before he put the needle in!!!
I'm so sorry, Cindy.

I only have fond memories of David. I knew him in grade school and Jr high until I moved. Met up in our early thirties but haven't seen him since he moved to Boston area. I am so sorry that he left this world so soon. My condolences to you all.

To the family of Dr. Loeb:

My deep and caring condolences to your family. Dr. Loeb was my dentist and my son's dentist for many years and always treated us with respect and caring as well as treating us to a droll sense of humor that kept us chuckling in the dentist's chair.We were the same age and enjoyed exchanging stories about our boomer generation.

Please know that we are thinking of you in this time of sadness.

Dr. Loeb was my dentist (and my parents) for many years. I will always remember him as a very kind and generous person, with a wonderful sense of humor. He will be missed by all who knew him. My condolences to his family.

Dear Cindy and Ellen,

I am so very sad to learn of Cousin David's passing. While we lost touch after my move to Florida, he had remained in my thoughts and we had a nice visit 3 years ago when I took a trip to Boston. He was kind and generous of spirit. He was my dentist for many years and he always brought me to his office and we'd call Aunt Beulah together. Then he'd say "What's the gossip Cuz?" And we'd laugh and chat. At one point many many years ago he had even offered to let me stay with him. I must have been in my early 20s. It was a tough time for me and he wanted to help. Of course we also shared our love of animals and would talk about our dogs. I'd like to think if there is a heaven he's there with Aunt Beulah and Uncle Al and all our pets we've lost over the years.
Golden Crossing....

Sending Much Love,

Cousin Laura

Left a lasting mark on me....

Dear family members,

I was heart broken to learn of David's passing. The world lost a wonderful, compassionate and extremely funny person. I had the pleasure of working as David's Dental Assistant in the late 1980s while I was pregnant with my second child. David was a dedicated and highly principled dentist, a caring and appreciative employer-and became a dear, sweet friend. My second child is nearly 27. David went out of his way and helped me through several difficult times- he was very supportive after I relocated to NY and eventually became an RN. He taught me a lot about dentistry, but even more about honesty, self respect and being one's higher self-He had a very positive impact and influenced me a great deal... I reflect on his humor and wisdom quite often... My deepest condolences....I will miss my "Rude Dog Dentist" as he proclaimed himself to be, lol. Great photograph- it's how I see him in my heart. I wish you all peace in all that he was.
With a heavy heart- Suzanne (Irvine) Monahan

Cynthia, Ellen and family members,
I was so saddened to learn of David's passing. He was not only my classmate but a friend as well. In fact we went to the junior prom together. David was a warm hearted soul who was fun to be around. He was missed at our reunion this past September. There are no answers to comfort your grief, only lasting love and precious memories. Cherish them always.
