To all of Dave's family and friends, Dave was a very special person. With all he had on his mind, he managed to come to visit Paul Hargedon (Milton Class of 1956) at Bridges of Westwood when Paul had Alzheimers Disease. Very much appreciated by Paul and his wife Anna Dave is in my prayers.

My condolences to the Gallery family. David (and Dick) were my coaches in Little League. Wonderful lasting memories of their encouragement and support. It was a wonderful time to grow up in Milton because of people like the Gallery's.

I am so sorry to hear of this loss. I am a server at the Residence at Penniman Hill in Hingham and David was one of my favorite residents to see in the dining room, early in the morning as soon as we opened and always with newspaper in hand. He always told the best stories and was always a pleasure to serve. He will be missed. Sending love and thoughts during this time. -JR
