David and I had been out of touch for about 20 years. I just learned yesterday that he passed last year, and it's hard to process the loss of someone who was already gone from my life but who made such a deep and meaningful impact on how I see the world and myself. I wrote a blog post about Dave's passing (very old school, I know). I haven't seen David's parents for 30 years and I've never met his wife, but please know I am carrying you in my heart right now. I hope the memories of Dave have brought you joy and solace and laughter, as I know he did in his life. Best, Andrea (Laiacona) Dooley

Dave sent me a this blurry fuzzy up close of a garden bhudda he captured sometime in the drift after high school, and we have it framed on a wall in our living room. Bon Vivant, without a doubt.

Dave was a very dear friend to me, and his impact was tremendous. We went to college together. Dave showed me what courage, curiosity, and adventure looked like as he just ate up the world around him. Man he took it all in. A great observer and commentator of life. He always made me smile, and I cherished our talks and reflections. He was a very calming and centered soul and connected lots of people. I hope that Dave's family takes some solace in knowing the great love that so many people have for Dave and the great love that he shared with us all. Peace.

Dave was a great buddy starting with our days at the Prep. We got into skating and I noticed early on he was a culture vulture. He had a great eye for design, poetic handwriting, and a keen ear for music. We both liked Woody Allen films then. I remember in his room he had a sticker or a small poster near his record player that said ‘Rebel Radio’ with the silhouette of a rastaman smoking a doobie and I thought man, this guy likes to push boundaries. David was the first person I knew who was reading Rushdie’s Satanic Verses and I was impressed by that. One time we both went to see the film adaptation of Naked Lunch at an art house theater in Maplewood. I don’t remember if I had read the book yet but it was one of the most bizarre films I’dve seen in my life and I thank him for inviting me. I can’t say I loved it because I barely understood it but it opened up my mind for sure. Another outstanding memory was a random fishing trip we created one weekend. It was more of an excuse to hang out than actually catch fish. We grabbed whatever poles and tackle we got our hands on, probably our fathers’ gear, and ended up at a big, quiet lake fairly early in the morning somewhere in Northern NJ without much of a plan.There was nobody on or around the lake, we had it all. On a not distant shoreline was this lonely aluminum camping canoe just beckoning, so we decided that if we borrowed and returned it, no harm caused. We had a six pack and a pinner and carved out a wonderful afternoon on a beautiful day with nowhere to go and nothing to do but take in the surroundings and shoot the breeze, pure spontaneity. That’s how I would like to remember my friend Dave, the guy I could say to, hey I have a kinda crazy idea, let’s do this. And vice versa. May His Soul Rest In Peace and my Heartfelt Condolences for His and His Spouse’s Families.

I am David's Uncle Joseph and my Wife is Aunt Leslie from Florida. I have so many wonderful memories of David . . . Too many to share here . . . But my favorite memory of David is when he was the BEST Man on my wedding day in November, 1993. Coming from a family of ten children, it was impossible to pick one of my brothers as my Best Man. My Wife and I decided to use all of our Nieces and Nephews in our wedding party so that our siblings would be involved in the wedding through their children. David was my oldest Nephew (the first born of my oldest Brother, Robert) and he was the perfect BEST Man that I could ever imagine. My Wife's only child, Jessica, was her Maid of Honor.
I was so very proud to be the Uncle of David . . . No geographic distance could separate our close relationship. Every birthday, every Christmas and every milestone in his life was marked with a card and a money gift just to show David that I remembered him. It was my way of staying in touch with David and he always sent a thank you note (usually including one of his photos) and in later years he would send us antique postcards. The notes would always be addressed "Uncle Joe and Aunt Leslie" on the outside . . . and that made me smile every time !!
My family would always tell me that I had to meet this wonderful woman that David was dating . . . Living in Florida, I think I was the last one in my family to finally meet Meredith. We both fell in love in Meredith from the first day we met her. I could see the love that they shared and I was able to share the memories of our wedding day with Meredith.
Not only did I lose my oldest Nephew . . . I lost my BEST Man.
My deepest sympathy to Meredith, Robert, Joan, Adam and Justin . . . There is a hole in our hearts on the loss of your beloved David Lanthan.
Love, Uncle Joseph and Aunt Leslie

Justin, I was deeply saddened to hear of your brothers loss. I am so very sorry. What a talent! I have been getting lost in his portfolio. What an incredible gift he had to capture the essence of life. Just wow! Thinking of you and your family as you navigate this really hard time. Grace Purtell (iContact)

David grew up in our home. He ran up and down the stairs with our sons Chris and Dan, joining them in high school rebellion as a key member of their “garage posse”...its name’s still painted on our garage wall. He must have lost countless unfound belongings here, because in his droll way he referred to the “Black hole of the Leo house.” The name stuck, always reminding us of a precious second son, who, long gone from Bloomfield, never left our home. We in the Leo family send our deepest condolences to you, Meredith. Joan and I often talked about David’s happiness with you. And to you, Joan and Rob...our hearts are broken. We’ve been quietly walking with you these impossible days. Adam and Justin, dear to us, both of you, we send you our love. The Reamer boys will always have a special place in our hearts. May you all have the peace that allows happy memories to bring you smiles again. Love, Lynda and Ted Leo

My condolences to the Reamer family. We were happy to finally meet David a few years ago when David and Mer came to visit us in NY. He was such a nice young man. May he Rest In Peace. May God receive him into his Holy Kingdom. Although we cannot be with you at this time, please know you are in our thoughts and prayers. May God Bless you and you family and give you the peace and comfort needed at this difficult time. RIP David. Lost but never forgotten!
