Dave was a kind and gentle man. I remember running into him at a grocery store and sharing some jam memories with him, and talking about his Mother. We will miss him.

Dave was a good friend and gentle soul - always caring for others. He was an integral member of our harmonica group and will be sorely missed.

Will remember many enjoyable times spent with David in our Harmonica Class and especially his very exuberant laughter. Will be thinking of you every time I play my harmonica.
