I just found out yesterday, March 20, that David passed at the end of February. I am so very sorry for your loss. For over 20 years David and I had a professional relationship as therapist and client. Sometimes during those years our rolls reversed in that relationship. He was my therapist and friend. Of late we talked about his battle with cancer and how you tried to keep him with a positive outlook.

He helped me through different crises in my life. Our loss sadden s me, for he allowed me the opportunity to live, to grow, and to become the person that I am today. I am thankful that our lives intersected in this way.

I would like to express my deepest condolences to the Lattman family. David was our family therapist for the past 30 years. He truly was a gifted professional, and he was always there to help us with insightful advice.

We will all miss him. His kindness, his friendship, his caring nature are things that will stay with us forever. With all the people he touched, he definitely left this Earth a better place.

I am extremely saddened by David's passing, and I give my deepest condolences to his family.

David was a regular part of my life; I was his client for nearly three decades - most of my lifetime. He was a great man who cared a lot about people. He gave me inspiration and hope. I feel very lucky to have talked with him so many times over all those years.

I spoke with David on the phone just five days before he passed away; he sounded positive about how the treatment of his illness was going - that same hopeful way of looking
at life that he had conveyed to me throughout the years. It didn't even enter my mind that it could be our last conversation, and I was shocked when I learned that he had passed away just days later.

I miss David and will remember him forever.

In deepest sympathy for all his family. As a member in his long standing Men's Group, David became more than a therapist. We felt privileged to know him, his loves and cares; his insight and wise council; his insistence we be active participants in life, its challenges and, its blessings: his life's work the embodiment of the spirit within him. I share a deep sadness with all who knew him well.
