My sincere condolences to Sheila, and the entire Ronis family. David lived cater corner across the street from me, 2 doors west of Dale Pierson. The three of us rode bikes or walked to Wiley Jr. High together daily for 3 years. And David sat 2 seats away in 3 years of daily homeroom at Heights High. Now... they're both gone. I'm so sad to hear of David's recent passing. He was always smiling & upbeat, a science & math whiz who gave me tremendous insights in our discussions on a wide range of technical subjects over the Wiley Jr. High & Heights High School years. And.... David also had, at the same time, a wonderfully eccentric & strong sense of humor to contrast his whiz/bang scientific understanding. It was a pleasure growing up in the neighborhood with David and Dale. I miss both of them

I am very sorry to hear about David. Although I did not know David well in junior or senior high, I knew him well enough to recognize that he was a brilliant student who possessed a wonderful sense of humor and an innate gentleness. He had a terrific smile and was an all around good soul. My condolences to his family.

My brother in law David was the personification of the adage that 'still waters run deep'. Quiet and unassuming, his speech and written word were never frivolous. He was kind, gentle, loving and compassionate. All who knew him admired his unique brand of dry humor which operated on the highest intellectual plane. Na al mishchavo b'shalom.

Sheila, I am so sorry for your loss, and indeed, the loss to all of us. I remember Dave with affection. He was smart, witty, and such a nice guy. He will be missed.
