Although the years have passed more quickly than I can imagine, Dave continues to be in my thoughts as a role model for the mentor program that I run. For his children in particular - my wish for the mentees in our program is to emulate the way Dave was a giver to those with whom he worked. His high and positive energy were gifts that made his world better.
I miss him.

Although I was a very happy client, I treasured our friendship far more than his help with my portfolio. Always upbeat and energetic, I remember fondly our last meal together in Tampa Florida when he introduced me to sushi and did his best to explain the background and nuances.
I had the utmost respect for Dave and hope that his children whom I know he loved and treasured emulate his work ethic, his love of life, his glass half full approach to everything he did. I continue to miss him all the time.

David remains one of the smartest, most engaged in life and caring persons I have ever met. I looked forward to every time we met whether on a professional or personal basis. i had more trust in his financial acumen and that he would always give me the best advice he could.
I continue to miss him and always will

Dave Zier was a friend and someone I admired greatly. I continue to think of him and miss him a lot. He was my first financial advisor and by far the sharpest and most intelligent I have ever had. He introduced me to sushi during his visit to Tampa and I still remember that luncheon as one of the best I have ever had. I was thrilled as he moved up in his company until he reached the top.
As trite as it may sound - Dave was a good man and the world would be much better off if he were still with us.

For Dave's family and friends
I have worked with Dave for 15 years as a client and friend. I have always had tremendous admiration for him and came to look at him as one of the very sharpest, smartest, nicest persons I have ever met. I will miss him tremendously and feel so badly for his children who many times he shared how much he loved them and was proud of them. And for the rest of his family. A real tragedy.

So sorry to hear about this. I was at a seminar he attended a few weeks ago in Chicago. I have prayed for his family, his business associates and clients.
