Uncle Dave was always so sweet & kind to me in the 70s & 80s as a child. I remember him always having a sweet and gentle tone of voice when he would speak to me as a child at the Nolt Christmas parties. I was always impressed with what a great photographer ! He always drove the fancy cars !They were always so clean! I am happy for him to be out of pain & free in heaven now !

David and Esther came into our place of business often and we were absolutely heartbroken to hear of his passing. He was always a joy to talk to, and we looked forward to seeing him everytime he stopped by. We often discussed our mutual love of Cape May, and both he and Esther had given us numerous recommendations as to how we could best enjoy the town. Our hearts go out to Esther and all of David’s friends. He will truly be missed.
Bryan, Charlotte, & Luke
