Dave and I have been neighbors for 40 plus years. He was the best neighbor I had on our block. Our kids grew up here as friends and shared many birthday parties. We continued having dinners together until he was unable.
Dave and I have spent lots of time together in his basement (where I learned how to make wooden bowls, his hobby and doll houses for his grand children). Dave's wood shop was first class. He could make everything. In addition, we both had boats and a love for fishing. Once Dave received his Boat Captain Certificate and Barbara developed him a Charter Fishing Website, the fishing trips were endless. Captain Dave up and out before
sunrise, during our travels we enjoyed listening to jazz and classical music. As a member of the Lincoln Center Jazz Theater, I have taken him to jazz concerts there. We also shared parking our cars while vacationing. Dave will alway be a big part of my memories of happy times we shared together.

Worked with Dr. Dave back in the early 80's, a calmer, gentler person, with his humor and size, he was truly amazing person. Learned many things from him, and sorry to hear of his passing!
