Dear Eileen,
Like Keith Knell, I was very sad to learn from Rob that David passed away. I also greatly enjoyed David's keen mind and analytics. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family. I pray that you will draw close to the Lord and find comfort in Him.

Jim and I feel lucky to have met and gotten to know David thru Carrie and Rob. He was "full of life" and gave everything he had to his family and his community. You could just tell . Our thoughts and prayers go out to Eileen and Chris and Carrie and Ann and the rest of the D'Appelonia family.

Dear D'Appolonia Family
Dave led the investor group that bought White Knight in 1991 saving hundreds of careers. And he was as much exciting to be around as focused intellect! All at White Knight are still grateful to Dave and saddened to hear of your loss. With condolences.

Dear D'Appolonia Family:
I'm shocked and very saddened to hear of the loss of David. I was a graduate student in one of his courses at MIT and we later worked together on several projects at D'Appolonia's Concord MA office. His ability to help others challenge conventional thinking and look for new and better ways to accomplish something was a great inspiration to me. He was one of the most intellectual people I have ever known. I will miss him.

Dear D’Appolonia Family,
I am deeply sorry for your loss. Dave touched the lives of so many young people through his service on the board of Propel. He had a brilliant mind, but most importantly, Dave was a kind and fair man.
