David was in my class at the Lab School. We were not close, but he was important enough to our tiny community for a classmate to have sent thisw notice to me, and me to send this note to you.
Am sorry to hear iof his passing,but thrilled to hear that he was on a mountain.May God grant such joyu to the rest of us.
Our class just had a small small 40th reunion party, and had David been there, we wiould have been delighted to see him.
Sister Ann never knew me, but I remember how smart, hardworkin g, and kind she is.
And David was a soul without malice, and at this point in life,
that counts for A LOT.
So sorry to hear this news. So glad to have this website this family in my holiday prayers.

David and I were best friends for over 35 years. We met in graduate school in Madison Wisconsin and through the years we have laughed through the challenges and turmoils and joys of marriage, parenting, trying to make a buck, trying to stay on top of the waves. I remember in 1972 watching a student protest on State Street with David, and how we both remarked that the times indeed were changing, and that the whole protest thing of which we were both a part separately as undergraduates in different places now seemed to have run its course. That was one of the things I admired most about the man - his ability to both see the similarities and differences in so many things. In my fantasy, he is still there, still with me, giggling that wonderful giggle of his, smiling, his eyes twinkling, saying to me: No worries buddy! I had it all and I lived it all and I was loved by so many.

I was blessed by his friendship. And still am by the memories.

Jeanne and I are saddened to hear of David's untimely passing and send our love and sympathy to Sandi, Daniel, Rebecca, and all family and friends. I met David in college circa 1970 and he was in our wedding party in 1972. His joyous spirit lives on!

Dear Sandi, Daniel and Rebecca
I am very sorry to hear about your fathers passing. I enjoyed getting to know him on our climb to Ranier. I must say he did live his life to the fullest. He really was an agreeable and charming human being. He will be missed.

With deep sympathy, Sandi, Daniel,and Rebecca, from your family back in Wisconsin. We cannot feel life's losses without first feeling the blessings of its fullness. David's life was full. His zest for life, his family, and his friends was exemplary. We knew him as a great host and conversationalist, a loving husband and dad, a kind and caring man. We honor his life by living ours in a glorious way as he did. The world has lost a very special someone, and we have lost a very special brother-in-law.

I have known Dave through a mutual friend since 1998 when we moved the office to Greenwich from NYC - he was easy to get to know and to talk to and eclectic in every regard. Very sad to hear the news.

We met David and Sandi in Zermat, as we were visiting his beloved sister Ann and Pierce, dearest friends for about 20 years. His strong personality and charism, and sense of humor, made this family rendez-vous a bright and warm moment in our life.
We'll never forget his smile and jokes, and try to be as good as he was.
We send all our love and sweet memories to the whole family.

Our sympathy to Sandi, Daniel, and Rebecca on the death of David. The loss of a good man is a loss for everyone. John Donne rightly said, "Death be not proud!"

Jane and I knew David from the first moment of his existence when we were stationed with his parents at the Carswell Airforce base in Fort Worth, Texas, during the Korean war. We kept in touch with him and his wonderful family all these years, visiting his beautiful home in Stamford and enjoying his superb culinary skills. He will truly be missed by all of us. Jane and Ernst Jaffe', M.D.

I met David only a few times, but I was always struck by how funny he was. His success in life – family and career—are to be admired. Sandi, Daniel, and Rebecca I am so sorry for your loss. He will be missed by all who knew him.
