When I worked at the Four Seasons I liked to hang out in the pastry shop to learn all the things they were doing. David was always nice to me, explained the chocolate work they were doing. Good memories of him. Gone way too young. Love Karen Kruchesky

When I was a little boy, I used to visit The Four Seasons Hotel with my dad, Pat Fay, who was a banquet waiter there. We would always stop by the kitchen where David would offer me pastries to sample. I am 35 years old and still vividly remember him and his kindness from my youth.

David and my dad passed away 9 days apart from one another. They are certainly reminiscing above about the good old days at The Four Seasons.

Please accept my heartfelt condolences.
