“David Flory was someone I cared for deeply. I will miss his smile, his laugh and his fabulous personality. I worked with him for over 15 years and I will miss the kindness he showed in his professional capacity to those he served. But mostly, I will miss my dear, dear friend. To his family I wish peace and comfort in the days ahead. Those of us who loved David will carry a piece of his light in our hearts. Love doesn't truly die, it is transformed and remains as we carry it with us.”

“David contributed to shaping an open and friendly community for West Coast Swing on Wednesday nights. I will always remember him for his patience, sense-of-humor, and professionalism as an instructor; it was a joy to watch him teach. Legacy is measured in part by the impact one has on others. The impact of David's contributions will continue to ripple through family and community for years to come. My deepest sympathy for your loss, Patrice Nolan”
