I was really looking forward to our visit in the spring. My own sadness is amplified by that of Paula's loss. We will miss you, David. May your energy be well, and may you rest in peace.

To the Rosser Family, I'm saddened to hear of Dave's passing. I've never forgotten his big smile as he played St Lous Tickle back in the early 70's. RIP Dave

My husband and I met Dave when I was working at a rock and roll bar in Chillicothe. Dave used to walk all the way across town to listed to the open mic nights. I enjoyed talking with him about music and his family (he was so proud of his kids) and we got to meet a wonderful person. We were sad to hear about his passing. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.

It saddens me to hear of David's passing. I had wanted to get on Facebook and become a friend. He meant a lot of me as most of the Rosser's do.
The first memory of David that comes to mind is at the folk club meeting when he got up and did Alice's Restaurant. He did a great job and it just stuck with me.

To the Rosser Family,
I was deeply saddened to learn of Dave's passing today. I have many great memories of playing music and hanging out with Dave many years ago (I first met Dave when we were in our teens).
He was an outstanding musician and an even more outstanding person. He also (as you know) had a great sense of humor!
RIP David Rosser. He will be missed.
