I realize it has be a few months later, but I want to express my deepest sympathies. Though it has been longer than I would like to admit, David was someone with a grade a personality and always enjoyed a conversation with him thouh it was over 30 years ago since the last one. I just found out yesterday when I received my SJU magazine. Again I am so sorry and God bless you and your family.Gerard GruberOhara "76St. Joe's "80

Dear Noreen & Family,I've been a patient of David's since about 2002. As someone over 60, and am quite afraid with several bad experiences with Dentist, he was so patient and just a kind and wonderful person and handled my situation perfectly. I have truly missed him and always asked his cousin my dear friend Carolyn and office staff how he was doing. I am sending my deepest sympathy and condolences to you knowing he is with God, smiling down and watching over you. May God comfort, bless and keep you.Sincerely,Linda Flemming

Dear Noreen and The Gerace Family, I was very saddened to hear of Dr. Gerace's passing. He was a gifted man in the Dental Field and a very kind and gentle person. I always enjoyed temping as a hygienist for your office as I knew it would be a pleasant experience and Dr Gerace would always have a welcoming smile on his face. My prayers go out to you Noreen and your daughter. I am sure he is shining down upon you now with his blessings. God Bless Connie Wallace (Temporary dental hygienist)

Dear Noreen and Family, My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time. I worked with Dave in 1984 when we were both just beginning our dental careers. I was just out of high school and he inspired me many ways. He was great to work with and I appreciate all he taught me. Through the years myself and family members had the opportunity to seek his services. He will be missed and I will always have fond memories of him. God bless you. Joan Dunleavy Davies

Dera Gerace Family, I have known Dave since we were 8 years old, we played baseball together and later went to SJU together, and in all those years he has always impressed me as such a tremendous person, a great guy, and I am so sorry for your loss.

Dear Gerace Family,Dave and I attended St Dorothy's and O'Hara together. We were in many science classes together and he was always my lab partner. As you know, he was totally unselfish, did more work than he needed to, was reliable, funny, and a good friend. We had many laughs while dissecting the frog and looking at fruit flies.I have not seen him since our last reunion, but he lovingly spoke about his family and patients. He was truly one of a kind.My sincerest condolences and sympathy.May God bless you,Mary Foti Boylston

Noreen and Michelle, my thoughts and prayers are with both of you. I know you will both have and the faith and strength to keep moving forward. I believe that is what Dave would want for you both.Dave and I met in High School. We shared something very close and yet pretty painful at the time. We both tried out for the High School baseball team very year for all four years of HS. Unfortunately, we were both cut from the team on last cuts every year. Dave and I shared a unique perspective on the events. We both knew the coach had no idea what he was doing and the loss was his. Dave and I both had a good laugh about this for many years to follow. David was one of the most genuine and sincerely nice people it was my pleasure to know. He will be missed but he will always be thought of with great fondness and regard.Hope to see you some day again, Jim Yancoskie
