August 3, 2019 at 2:32 pmMarilyn and all the family, we are so saddened for your loss. Dave was such a good neighbor and a much loved friend. Marilyn, we enjoyed your and Dave’s many visits to Florida so much. We always had so many laughs. Now we have so many memories. Dave fought so hard for a long long time through horrific pain with you by his side. Now he can Rest In Peace pain free. God Bless!

August 3, 2019 at 9:25 amI knew Dave for over forty years and we competed against each other in platform tennis and tennis at Queen City tennis club. Dave was a pleasure to be with and to have good conversation. I missed him this past year and I didn’t know he was in failing health. I’ ll miss him at Queen City and he will be in my prayers.

August 1, 2019 at 2:42 pmI know I speak for the entire Paddle Community, David was not only a fierce competitor but whether in victory or defeat, always a humble opponent. He carried that attitude to his incredible fight against cancer and despite impossible odds, he remained with us far longer than expected and for that, I am grateful. Linda and I send our love and prayers to Marilyn and family 💔

July 31, 2019 at 12:23 pmSo sad to hear about Dave’s passing. I knew Dave thru Four Bridges platform tennis. He was on my league team for a few years, He had an infections smile and was always happy and grateful for the opportunity to play platform, but it had to be above 32F !! He had some serious skills and knew the game very well, I know he was nationally successful in the game too. Best to Marilyn and the family. Tmac
