David Clarence Tapp

Dr Tapp was my Physician while in Abington,Ma. He was a kind, carin Doctor who went above and beyond to help his patients in many ways. I was so lucky to have known him. As a religion teacher we shared many thoughts. It was a pleasure to know him. God bless you and those he loved. Mrs. Elaine O'Rourke

I only recently learned of David's passing. I attended WMA with David and I remember his kindness and wit so well. I have never figured out how he got away with skipping the Sunday parade so he could watch basketball!! My condolences to his family.

I admire Dave immensely for his compassion and dedication to others. His intellect was amazing. I will miss his smile and sense of humor. He leaves a very large void in the hearts of his PEB family, as I am sure he does for his wife, children, grandchildren and all of those he served. He represents the ultimate example of how we should all care for each other. I was out of the country when Dave died and I am very sorry I missed his memorial and funeral services. I am so proud to call Dave my friend and colleague.

Janice, my deepest sympathy to you and your family. God's loving arms are surrounding you to give peace and comfort.

I worked with Dr. Tapp whiling serving at the PEB. Dr. Tapp was anomalous. My motive to share my view, is two-fold. I'm saddened by this news, and you just don't see the qualities that this man had, in this day and age period. When I met Dr. Tapp, I saw someone who was out of the ordinary. I don't know if, it was the Cowboy tie, or the pleasant smile, or the quietness of a Sunday morning. I never talked to Dr. Tapp at length (wish I would have), but when we crossed paths, it was always a nice jester. He always would say, Hello Sarge! No matter my mind set, there was a calming effect when he spoke to me. How many people you know that talk to you have a calming effect? After reading Dr. Tapps obituary, it all makes sense. Dr. Tapp had countless qualities. He was man of integrity, honesty, servant leadership, grace, and most importantly a man of God. I will miss Dr. Tapp, but knowing you're in Heaven sir, just made me a bit calmer. God Bless the Family of Dr. Tapp.

A person that departs from this earth never truly leaves, for they are still alive in our hearts, through us, they live on. Our heartfelt condolences on David's passing.

My heart is heavy to hear of the passing of Dr. Tapp. I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Tapp at the PEB over the past year. He has a gentle soul and strong spirit. He will truly be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with the family during this time of loss.

I am so sorry for the loss of such a dear person, I know your you must have many precious memories.

My deepest condolences Janice.

My sincerest condolences to the Tapp family for your loss. I have known Dr. Tapp for only a year as a reserve Officer assigned to JBSA-PEB. Although a short timeframe, he made a lasting impression to me. He was always willing to provide guidance when needed and I so enjoyed his sense of humor. I'm sure the Good Lord welcomes him. Dr. Tapp will definitely be missed by all! - LTC Lynda Morales, Coworker, Dec 5, 2017

My sincerest condolences to the Tapp Family. I worked with Dr. Tapp for the last 2 1/2 years and it was my sincerest honor to meet such a noble and kind gentlemen.

Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in all ways. The Lord be with you all.

Dr. Tapp was one the most generous men I have ever met. He was very caring, kind, and we knew we can always count on him. I remember when I first met him. He made me feel welcome right away; he inspired peace and happiness. He was a hard worker, very professional, acknowledgeable, and reliable. Let the memories of Dr. Tapp provide you with comfort and serve as a guidance. He will truly be missed. To his family, You are not alone and remember that he is and will always be in your hearts and memories for ever. LTC Malenm Cruz

My Sincere Condolences Janice on the loss of your Husband David. I know how much you loved him. David was such a Special Man. He was always there to help Ma and Dad in anyway he could. Which we all appreciated. I will Always remember him for his Kindness and his Awesome Smile. God Bless you Janice. You Both will always be Loved!!

Words cannot express the sadness I feel at losing my cousin. He was someone I always looked up to. I will cherish the many years of memories of growing up together.

I went to WMA with David in the 70s, he was the brightest person I ever met there. He was a gentle and wonderful spirit, with a great sense of humor, someone like David only comes around rarely, he truly will be missed.

I had the pleasure of knowing Dr. Tapp from his work with the PEB. I will remember him most for being kind - to me, and also to the many Soldiers with whom he interacted during a stressful time in their lives. He had such a gentle way about him that I truly admired. My sincerest condolences go to his loved ones. We will miss him.

Janet, I'm praying for your and your family. Wishing all of you God's peace and comfort.

Janice,
I wish you and your family peace during this time.

As a Reserve Officer I came back and forth on mobilization tours to the PEB and on a few occasions I got to sit next to Dr. Tapp, which I enjoyed. His kind, spirit made me feel comfortable and he was always willing to help. I loved to laugh with Dr. Tapp. His quiet demeanor followed up by his hearty laugh always caught me off guard and made me laugh more. He was a joy to be around. To the family, you are in my thoughts and prayers. LTC Angelia Ward

David was a good friend of mine in high school at Wentworth. One of the most thoughtful friends I ever had.
RIP and God Bless your family. Henry Newell Kansas City, Mo

I wish we could've met up after our WMA days. I remember that smile.

In the short time that I had with Dr. Tapp here at the Physical Evaluation Board, I could see that he was a quiet professional, always willing to stop all that he was doing to teach, coach and mentor me. My condolences to his family and my prayers to you all as well during these trying days.----MAJ Lopez

I worked with Dr. Tapp for 5 years and I will miss him terrible. Dr. Tapp was one of the nicest, kindest, and generous persons I have had the good fortune to meet, the world will definitely be missing a dedicated, hard working, and excellent human being. Dr. Tapp's strength and spirituality guided me thru a difficult time. All of my memories of Dr. Tapp are beautiful and precious, always respectful, never an unkind word to anyone. Dr. Tapp may God have you in the special place in heaven that you so rightfully deserve.

David will ALWAYS be remembered here at the PEB and definitely by me. I am so sorry you all have to experience this but reach our if you need anything.
