I did not realize you had passed away, my friend. God bless those you left behind who loved you, especially me too. I am sorry I did not know about this at that time.

Dave had been playing piano practically all of his life. He was a classical trained pianist. Dave was also an accomplished clarinet player and symphony percussionist. One of Dave's musical highlights took place in the early nineties, when he was asked to front an entire orchestra. He brought a special flavor to all bands he played with.

Those of us in the Lori Balentine Band never forget you Dave. I will treasure the good times and memories we shared. You and Reilly were a very special part of our band and our lives. You will be missed!

We loved David. He had been coming to our home every Thursday for the past seven years. The minute the doorbell rang our dog would greet him and wait to receive the treat David had brought him. Besides educating us all at the piano he always had a good joke or a story. He was a kind, warm, gentle soul with a huge heart. He was just incredible with our children. We will all really miss him.
