Hello David, I know your restring in Peace singing 🎵  & playing with the Angels 👼 to the beautiful memories that we shared. I missed  you on stage @ The Pig Roast this past year, but I did feel your beautiful spirit &  I  will as long as we’re playing that gig! 😇🙏👼 I spoke to Vic about you this past  week! I said it was your spirit I felt, & once again Vic told me in Russian his last  words  that he spoke to you. Lol 😂 

Dave was such a pleasure to work with. He added so much to any gig that he shared with Beauty & The Grease, I miss him. He was an awesome musician, a beautiful soul & kind human being. I know that David is resting now on the Wings of the Angels with music for all Eternity.
Like everyone who knew him, Dave was a man who you never forget and his talent and spirit. He designed our 3rd child's birth announcement and the artwork for our Goodtimes album in 1981. We will miss him deeply and will likely meet again on the other side.

You were well loved Dave… I’ve known you and Irene since about 1970‼️🤗. You played at both mine and my brother’s wedding ❤️… you and Ritchie came to say goodbye when my mom and I we’re moving to Florida….  She insisted you have  a toast… she pulled out Jack Daniel’s … and you were like nah…. I can’t I’m taking medication….  She twisted your arm just a little… 😅😅😅. And you were like, oh, alright ‼️🥂 …. Here’s to you Dave‼️. Nothing but fond memories 💔💔💔.

50 years ago this past September, a young man entered my classroom at Rockland community college. You know.. me, the teacher and he, the student. Not so!!

Little did I know at the time that this young man wasn't "just another student." There was something about Dave that drew me closer to him as a student and as a friend. He was instrumental in creating groups at the college to help students with drug problems and another for Vietnam veterans who were trying to adjust being back

home. As our relationship developed over the years, Dave became the Teacher and I the student. Our individual lives and our families lives became intertwined and still are today. Dave taught and enlightened me to so many things. Through the years we shared so many memories... Watch fires on the Hudson river, Easter egg hunts at his home, antique cars, computer skills, how to build a deck, gardening and so many more.

To all that knew him their world will never be the same without him.

Dave, I will miss you every day. You are the true meaning of the word friend. Rest in Peace my brother, till we meet again.
