Dear Friends,
In rereading these messages today, I want to express my own thank you for your kind words, lo those many years ago! (I'm not sure that I did get to reply to you then, so forgive my tardiness!) Your notes represent some different areas of my dad's community connections, which makes sense of course, Since he was involved in many different ways. Thanks again for your kindness, and wishing you and yours the very best for this holiday season - Nancy

Frank and Nancy,
I have so many fond memories of your father. I really enjoyed the time during which your dad was a director of Bank of Silvis and then Pinnacle Bank of the Quad-Cities. Your dad was always really sharp at analyzing the numbers and asking good questions. I also remember your dad for the jokes he told. I have missed not seeing him for so many years.

Frank and Nancy,
I have been thinking of your dad lately. It was good of you to run the notice in The Quad City Times. Dave brought back many fond memories. Many nights I would have not gotten home from Hebrew school if it weren't for him.

My father was one of David and Sonny's customers for many, many years. I learned so much about wines and Kosher meats from David, too. The Christmas parties were amazing. I always looked forward to those, because of the assortment of delightful foods from all over the world, great commaradery and deep friendships formed over decades. "Sonny and Dave's" is part of an era, the same as the 'mom and pop' corner grocery. Everyone knew your family, what they liked (or didn't), how the kids were doing in school, the grandkids - it as just a great place to schmooz. That era in the Quad Cities is now gone. If I could say anything to Dave right now it would be Mazeltov! Thanks for the memories.
