COMFORT
I THANK YOU
FOR THE LOVE THAT EACH HAS SHOWN,
BUT NOW IT'S TIME I TRAVEL ON ALONE.
SO GRIEVE AWHILE FOR ME
IF GRIEVE YOU MUST,
THEN LET YOUR GRIEF BE COMFORTED BY TRUST.
IT'S ONLY A WHILE THAT WE MUST PART,
SO BLESS THE MEMORIES WITHIN YOUR HEART.
I WON'T BE FAR AWAY; I'LL BE QUITE NEAR.
JUST CALL ME SOFTLY AND I WILL HEAR.

So sad to learn this. David was my classmate at Lynbrook High School. Years followed where we lost touch except for reunions of our Class of 1953. More recently we connected again as we both loved going to the opera at the Met in New York, and enjoyed the music together.
I will miss him, his infectious smile and laugh, his happy attitude. It is my great pleasure to have known him. Such wonderful memories. My husband and I hold the family in our thoughts.

Dear Amanda: it was a pleasure laughing with you about so many great stories, we both can relate to. Although I've never met you, your dad spoke of you often. When you got married & had Olivia, his world became brighter. He always had a sparkle in his eyes. Your dad was my 1st boss at Jackson Lewis. We worked well together. I had his blessings through marriage and three children. When David left JL, he promised to keep in touch. That he did. We spoke on birthdays, holidays and met for lunch. He always wanted a family update. I'm blessed to have had lunch with him, a few months ago and was looking forward to seeing him in November. He will be missed. Sending blessings your way

Many years ago, we became good friends when Amanda and our boys were young children. We will always remember playing football at the Marion Street School, enjoying summers at the beach, our tennis matches which never ended, skiing vacations and the many wonderful parties and family holidays together.
His unforgettable smile and sunny disposition will live in our hearts forever.
Elke and Peter

I am shocked and saddened by the passing of Dave Tolmach. He was a longtime, dear friend who went to Lynbrook High School with my late husband Jerry McShea. Jerry passed away last July and Dave attended Jerry's wake in Rockville Centre. He seemed very healthy. My sympathies to Dave's daughter Amanda. May your Dad rest in peace. Prayers for you and your family. Nancy McShea

I love you daddy!
