My sympathies to Dave's family. I hold dear the following: His beautiful smile, the clever and funny ideas such as dog walking rentals at the Lake Michigan beaches, and, best of all, the Summer of '86. He is missed.

We were David's neighbors and were so saddened to learn of his passing. He was a very kind, quiet man who seemed to have such a gentle soul. It was nice to read the entries from his friends and to hear about his time at U of I-- it sounds like he was a very special person!
Our thoughts and prayers go to his family and friends during this sad time.

Dave was a special person and a very good friend. I have so many great memories and wish I had just one more chance to tell him what his friendship meant to me. Condolences to the friends and family who loved him.

Dave was the Quiet Beatle in our house in Champaign. And then he'd spring a simple statement or question on you that would show you he'd been considering the foundations of the universe. When he smiled, you felt he was smiling straight through to the center of his being, enjoying the moment as only the innocent can. Thanks Dave, for being part of us.
My deepest sympathies to the family.

That beard. That smile. That laugh. These are the things I will remember and miss the most about Dave. We all had many good times with him, and shared many laughs. Dave was an emotional guy with a big heart. I remember how he used to tear up at Louie Armstrong's "It's a Wonderful World" whenever it came on the jukebox. My heartfelt condolences to the Kelleher family. Rest in peace, my good friend. You will be missed.

Steve and I were so sad to hear this news about Dave. Steve and I knew Dave from his U of I days
when he lived in an old, rambling house with Steve, a bunch of guys, and one gal! He was such a gentle soul with a great smile. To this day when we hear a Heart song it's Dave we are reminded of. Our deepest sympathies to his family.
Sue & Steve Poklop
May his memory be eternal. My condolences to his family.
