My deepest sympathies to friends and family. Dave was a special man and childhood friend to my brothers, me, and our high school friends. I'm thankful I was able to reconnect with him a few years ago. So very sorry to hear of his sudden passing.

I am truly saddened by this news. My deepest sorrow for your families loss. Gloria LeSueur PHS Class of 72

I worked with Dave for 3 years at TVU. He was east coast and I was west coast. I came from selling cloud tech and had zero broadcast background. Dave was very willing to teach me and just wanted everyone to be successful. More important than any job, he was a great guy. He spoke of his family often. As a father of two little kids, my heart go...more

Thought I would try and capture a few memories from my life knowing Dave. We first met at PHS when he was the new kid and sat next to me in some class. He introduced himself and then showed me how he could put his whole fist in his mouth. Left a life long impression. We wrestled on the same team for a few years and never washed his practiced clo...more

Dave & I were teammates on the PHS Wrestling team 1970-1972. He was nicknamed the "chin" because he would use his sharp chin as a weapon on his opponents. We ran into each other randomly in Manhattan many years ago while on a business trip and then reconnected a bit on FB fairly recently. This loss is sad and sobering, as are so very many. I wi...more

One of the greatest influences in my life while attending High School with Dave. He's was the role model athlete. Dave had the 'smarts' and at the same time a shear comedian. He cared about those around him. I'll remember our friendship forever and fondly. Dave, you'll be greatly missed 'ole buddy. The world has lost a incredible human being. Heav...more

Becks... So many memories, so many laughs, far too little time. It was a privilege getting to know you in NYC those seemingly short 9-10 years in the late '80s to '90s . You've touched many people's lives in ways you'll never know.--But we know, and that's your legacy. Rest easy my friend.

Dave and his family were my Winona Street neighbors, in Park Forest, Illinois . I have many fond memories of Dave, Jimmy, his mom and dad, and especially his sister Terri who was one of my good friends until she moved to Georgia. I was thrilled to be reconnected with Dave on Facebook within the past few years. My heart goes out to his family and ...more

Prayers and love to Dave's family and friends . Although I lost touch with Dave many years ago, I am lucky to have know him as a friend, team mate, and co-worker (life guarding at DNDC ) in my last years of high school. We saw each other a few times after and it was always interesting. Dave had a polarizing personality with others that was posi...more

I was so very sorry to hear of Dave passing....He was such wonderful guy and always so friendly.. God Bless his family and friends at this time...Prayers coming there way...

Dave, where do I start with all the great times we had together. From Australia and the America's Cup to the longest running bikini contest in Hawaii. We did Buckhead in Atlanta better than it deserved to be done. When you moved to NYC from Atlanta we stilled stayed close and who would have thought 25 years later our daughters would be interning at...more

Dearest Dave, Words cannot express how saddened I was and still am about your untimely passing. As father's day weekend went by, i thought about you and how much you loved Rusty and Sara, and how your times with them filled you with joy and pride. So you would have come to NY or invited them for the weekend in Raleigh. I miss you so, and look at ...more
