Dave was simply one of the nicest people I have ever known. During his brief time in Los Angeles, I was lucky to get to know him as the gentleman that he was. This world needs more people like Dave. My sincere condolences to his enture family.

Dear Farmer Family,

My deepest sympathies during this time of loss. I did not know Dave as long as many but the few years that I knew him, he was an inspiration. Dave's musical genius was well-known and loved, as was his friendship. Dave will be terribly missed and many of us are blessed with wonderful memories with him over the years.

May God Bless you!!
