Dear Dave,

This is horrible news! I remember hearing your father in the last Podcast you produced. It was nice listening to the two of you. I wish you much comfort in the beautiful memories you have of your father during these difficult days and also, of course, after. May you have the strength. My condolences to you and your family.

Kindest regards,

Suzanne

Sorry, Aussie Dave-our thoughts are with you.

So sorry to hear of about your father’s passing, Dave.

Dave,
my thoughts are with you and your family at this time.

Dave,

…the LORD bless and keep you and your mom and sister. The LORD make His face shine upon you, and be gracious unto you. The LORD lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace.

Dave,

I am saddened and sorry to hear about your father’s passing. My prayers will be with you and your family, and may God allow you to remember the good times you had with him.

God bless,

May you be comforted among the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem.

I’m sorry to hear, Dave. I had added your father’s name on our shul’s MiShehbeirach list for a long time.

Heartfelt condolences to you and your family.

All of us who read Israellycool know two things about Aussie Dave. He has a big heart, and a lot of courage. It is not very often that you find one person with both these attributes, who can also be a through and through mensch.

I have just returned from the levaya of his father, and I can only say that Dave put both his heart and his courage together to deliver a hesped for his father that was a Kiddush Hashem to his memory, and also to the memory of his grandparents and many other family victims of the Shoah.

Dave lives in and defends the land of Israel, he lives his tradition, and he inherited values and a heritage from his family that is the greatest gift any father could impart to his son. As such a living legacy, and with such a combination of sadness and pride today, Dave gave an example of Kibbud Av of the likes I have never seen.

No matter how much one prepares for the loss of a family member, even when there is time to come to terms with terminal illness, we can never be ready. Dave, every moment is precious, including all those moments that you take to give us the chance to stay informed about the real Israel that you are helping to build. I really appreciate that Dave.

Chaim Arukim and comfort amongst the avelim of Tzion and Yerushaliem.

My deepest condolences.

Hamkom yenahem etchem b’toch sh’ar avlai tzion

I wish you long life Dave.

I’m so terribly sorry, Dave.
My thoughts are with you and your family at this time.

Dave, please accept my deepest condolences.

May you be comforted among the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem. Having lost parents, the only “comfort” we can take is that it is the natural order of life. G-d forbid it be reversed. CONTINUE your blog in his memory and your defense of K’lal Yisroel show enable your father to have continued aliyahs in Heaven.

I am so sorry, Dave.

Sorry Dave. Baruch Dayan Emet.

Dave… I am deeply sorry for your loss. If there is anything I can do to help ease the logistical burden on your family while you are away please drop me a note.

My condolences to Dave. Although I don’t know him, I can empathize with Dave because I also lost a parent to a long illness.

I have a sense of what his father was like through a podcast Dave did with him; he sounded like a sweet, amiable man.

So I hope that Dave will accept my heartfelt sympathies. And I hope that he will eventually focus less on his loss and more on how lucky he was to have had his father in his life for so many years.

My condolence to your loss too. It’s good to see how meanwhile you memorate on in your blog by telling about your father’s life. (I’ll send you a special song in an extra e-mail)

Dave,

I am so very sorry for your loss. Through your blog it is clear that your father had a loving and dedicated son.

יהיה זכרו ברוך
