I was stunned to hear of Dave's passing. He was a very dear friend and teacher. He actually rebuilt our family home in West Orange over the 36 years that we lived there. He used to say, "It's my house, I built it. You just live there," We had so many good times over the past 40 years. I miss him a lot.

Dave you are missed already and I still can´t process this!! My heart breaks for your wife and sons whom you said many kind things about. I am grateful to have known you and the many conversations we had that I will cherish forever!! You are a great example of a great man, great husband and great father should be like. Thank you for all the fatherly advise you have given me. For being my cheerleader through my Nursing school journey. You will forever be missed and I´m still in shock. My condolences to the Bogerts!!
