I had the pleasure and honor of playing music and sharing friendship with Dave. I know that his spirit will live on in all of the hearts that knew him. I will never forget him and all of the inspiration and good times we had. Peace in your rest my brother.

"Passing through, passing through, sometimes happy, sometimes blue, glad that I ran into you..."

From the flat streets of Chicago to the rolling hills of Vermont and everywhere else Davide traveled, he left behind a happy, gentle memory.
Thank you for your inspiration, it shed upon all of us a little magic.

I tried two other times to sign this guest book so here goes my third try. Dave was one of the purest people I've ever known. He was a devoted husband and one of the best friends I ever had. It saddens me to no end to know that the only place I will see him is my dreams. I love you Dave.

My heart just breaks to know David is no longer sharing this world with us. David was an amazingly talented and loving man. I feel I am a blessed person for getting the chance to know him and have him in my life. My prayers go out to his family and wife. He will be missed sooooo. To Captain NoWhere........till we meet again.

As my son-in-law, Dave and I rarely saw eye to eye, but I know that my daughter Gini thought the world of him and he of her. Dave was a very talented person and never met a person that he didn't want to know. His love of life and music will ensure that he will never be forgotten. Rest in peace Dave.

What an extraordinarily talented musician Dave was, and worthy of his captain's title in every respect. He always welcomed everyone he met into his home and his world. My heart goes out to his family and the multitude of his friends.
The world is a poorer place without him, and he will be well remembered.

The world won't be the same without Dave in it and it's hard to believe he's gone. We share in the grief of all his family and friends at this loss and send our deepest sympathy. Davide was really part of our family and our lives and we will never forget what he meant to us. Mike & Kat

Although I only remember Davide as a small boy, I'm sure he grew into a wonderful young man. May your many beautiful memories of Davide give you strength at this difficult time.

Dear Bruno,Debi and Stefan,
It seems there's very little anyone can say or do. To ease the loss of one that meant so very much to you, but may you find some comfort in the sorrow that you bear, knowing there are many hearts that understand and care. May you hold the memories of your beloved son and brother Dave as close to your hearts as you need to.
He was such a thoughtful, loving and caring young man. There is no greater grief than the loss of a child, may all your friends and family educate themselves in the next few weeks and allow you to talk about and cry about how much you will miss Davide in the weeks, month and years to come. The ones we love can never be more than a thought apart for as long as we have memory, they'll live on in our hearts. Be good to one another, Dave and God will get you through the difficult days and nights to come. I will keep you all in my prayers. We are all so sorry for such a great loss in your family.

Thinking of you with sympathy at this sad time.
