David was a unique and impressive poet who inspired everyone at his poetry readings, especially at Felician University where he taught. His students admired him and his friends, including me, loved him. His legacy will last.

My sympathy to Johanna and Stefanie. I'm glad to hear David's final years were among his happiest. :).

David was our dear friend for almost 50 years. He was an inspiration with his great art of words, leaving a huge legacy of novels, poems, creating at times with huge odds. The "Bard" is a most deserving title. He'll always be in our mind's eye.
