I remember David so well for his intelligence and his sense of humor. He was an intense person, a profound soul. We had really good times back in Camp Spruce Hill, sharing a bunk for many years.
I hope and pray that his memory will be a source of blessing and of love for his immediate and extended family.
He May his soul find rest with those of his family and the entire children of Israel.

I was very saddened when I learned of David's passing. David and I grew up together and were good friends. I have fond memories of our family being with the Karp family on vacations in Florida, playing golf with Morris, and yes, Eileen! David and I were roommates in camp and in college. I enjoyed David's wit, charm, and outgoing personality. My wife, Terry, and I would like to express our sincere condolences to Eileen, Fran, Howard, and the entire Karp family.

Our families have shared so much over the past 55+ years..so many beautiful times and relationships and several very sad moments like this! David always made me laugh. I loved reminiscing with him when I saw him in recent years. How he loved his entire family!

He will be remembered for his intelligence, his charm, his great sense of humor, his capacity to love, his deep if often brooding spirit. I will remember him for all the good times he gave me back when he was unencumbered, and I hope and pray that after the pain has lessened, his memory will be a source of blessing and of abiding love for his immediate and extended family. He will be missed! May his soul find rest with those of his family and the entire children of Israel.
