SO sorry to read of David's passing. A flood of memories came over me. The Klein parties were pure David. His clam chowder was always a hit....and there was always enough to feed an army. He glowed when he was around family. A very happy man. Ginger...he always spoke of his love for you.
With deep sympathy, Fran Klein

So sorry to fear of your families lost. Dave will be missed by so many family members and all his friends.
My family and I have so many fond memories of Dave and how he was always in the kitchen making something to eat. He loved feeding people and making them smile. I still can remember smelling and eating the delicious pizza he made in his kitchen. He will be deeply missed.
