I meet Dave about 10 years ago at one of his favorite places Disney World. He was wonderful friend and a great travel buddy. I still cannot believe he is gone and I am very glad I had the opportunity to be part of this life.Ray Linder My deepest sympathies go out to your family. I was stunned and saddened to hear of this news. Although its been a number of years since I have seen you all, I still hold many fond memories of my times spent with your family. You all were very special to me and made me feel part of the family. David was a great guy who I had the pleasure of knowing & sharing a part of my life. Our prayers are with him and you during this time. Marc Wagner I lived with David at his home on Koegler Avenue for about a year. David opened his home to me when I needed. We spent a lot of time together. I helped him with his renovations of the Rex Theater. I was so sadden to hear of his death. Even though he moved, I moved and we lost contact of the many years. I thought of him often. I know my life was better because of David. Thank you David.......Rusty Gordon I was stunned to learn of Dave's passing when I read my August Boxoffice magazine. Dave and I each shared the thrill of theatre ownership, the experience of working for circuits and most recently the service to exhibitors as suppliers to the industry. Every year we would take a night at ShoWest and go to the HardRock in Vegas and take in the sights on the strip. He and I are nearly the same age so it especially hits home. My condolences to his family. Dave was a true friend.Regis Merenick 10/20/05 Dear David's Family and Friend: I only today found about David's passing from a search online. I have been trying to reach him recently. The last I heard from him was by email. That he was going to go to Pittsburgh for the Memorial Day weekend. Yet I grew up in Pittsburgh, I have only known David for just over Four years when I met him here in Chicago. A short time but I consider him a good friend. Always staying over a few days when coming through Chicago to visit with me and sending postcards from his travels. I also got to see him in Salt Lake City when I was passing through. I remember a lot of good times. As many here have already mentioned he did have a zest for life which was infectious. He liked to talk A LOT. He also talked with a lot of affection about his friend Danny in Pittsburgh, his friends in Nashville, and his brother Jamie. I miss him and he is in my prayers. God bless you who know and love him. Love, Rege
