I remember like yesterday finding out that he had died and his funeral. I was devastated. I always thought it was drugs. I'm so surprised to hear this for the first time after so many years.
David was also the most talented drummer at our school. I remember standing next to Robin Berkson at his interment thinking that this was perhaps the saddest moment most of us had faced until that time, losing a friend while we were all still in our teens. It was especially tragic given that his dad Seymour was the Southside's most dedicated volunteer youth leader; he had done so much good for so many other parents' children only to be cruelly robbed of one of his own
Dave sat next to me in homeroom. He was such a nice and thoughtful guy. He and I used to laugh all the time together and make our homeroom teacher crazy. I never really believed the drug story. RIP Dave you were and still are missed.

always wondered what really happened- he had a great smile and laugh- we would make silly comments and had lots of laughs- fond memories.

Thanks Ted, when I was at NIU, that was the rumor, I am so glad that it is put to rest. Bless you.

Dave Ganan was one of the funniest guys that I can remember from Bowen. His death was a sad shock.
Hazel Greenfield
I never heard these rumors before. I'm glad someone is trying to put a stop to them.

I will always remember David's fun and lively spirit. He was one of my favorite school "pals". Too soon gone. Memory eternal.Cheryl Fraser
