"A good friend of mine died today. If you knew David Traub, spare a thought for him. If you are of the praying nature, perhaps a prayer.

He was a brilliant man. Also good company.
I will miss him." ~ Marc Robinson

I was proud to consider David a friend in high school, and hope he felt the same.

I've Known David since I was a little kid, he lived right down the street and was always a good friend to me. True Blue. I'm so sorry and sad to hear of his passing.

Some of my best high school memories are of hanging out with David and the rest you guys at lunch, Marc.  I was always a little in awe of the intelligence that surrounded me, but grateful for the acceptance.  Cheers to David.  He will be missed terribly.

I was very sad to hear of David's passing. I learned so much from him sharng a music collection when CDs first came out. I'll always remember watching Star Trek and the original Batman TV show before going out to play frisbee. David was truly a great friend. He and his family are in my prayers.

Additional tributes from the funeral home legacy page:
 
One of the greatest joys of my childhood were the times when we got together with our cousins. Dave was so much fun. He, and my sister Becky were two peas in a pod. So fun to listen to those two. I remember one Easter in Alexandria, where the hunt for the eggs was overshadowed by the mad scramble to find as many candy carrots as possible. I am thankful that I was able to reconnect with Dave these past few years via the internet. Aunt Paula, my deepest sympathies, my heart goes out to you, and you are in my thoughts and prayers. ~Sue

I knew Dave in high school (FHHS 1981). He was a great guy who will be missed by all. God bless you.

Hi David and Family: I didn't know you well but consider you a friend from the FHHS home of the Fighting Federals!! My brother-in-law, Brian Cerutti, talks very highly of you, so I'm sorry I didn't get the chance to meet you after all. When our Lord calls our loved ones home, he leaves a gift of memories in exchange. I'm sure your mom and your brothers are filled with memories of your wonderful loving and caring nature. RIP David and we'll miss you at the upcoming anniversary/reunion. You will be with us in spirit, I know. - With deepest sympathy - Barbara Krauss-Cerutti "Boo" (FHHS Class of '74)

It's not fair for a child to precede their parent in death. Why oh why has this happened? What could have been done to prevent such a tragedy? Sadly there is no clear answer. David was a gentle soul. He didn't want to cause anyone any trouble. He was always putting other people's needs above his own and failed to take care of himself, knowing full well the consequences of not doing so. Taking care of me was a priority for him. Preparing gourmet meals and bringing me goodies from the grocery. A regular occurrence. It made him happy knowing how much I enjoyed them. We can now think of him with fondness and remember his kindness, wit, odd sense of humor, humanity and generosity. His very presence was commanding to all who knew him. I loved my youngest son so much, and I will miss him forever.
