Fox & Weeks is privileged to serve the family and loved ones of David Jerome Rountree, 84, who passed through the doorway into inner space as the unmanifest source, out of which all manifestations flow. A dear husband and friend, always courteous, gentle and kind. From an early age he showed an aptitude for the trombone. He joined the 4th Army Band in the 60’s and performed throughout Texas for 3 years. When he returned to Savannah, he was accepted in the Savannah Symphony and played bass trombone until the majestic brass of the Chicago Symphony beckoned him to the windy city where he regularly played in many orchestras and brass groups. While there, under the training of Steinway technicians he acquired the skills to excel as a piano technician and tuner, which he continued to pursue when he returned to Savannah in 2001. In all that he did, David was conscientious, meticulous, and refined. A gentle man, he could not resist adopting lost cats, which he would spay, neuter, and then spoil rotten. He will be sorely missed by friends and animals. He was our prince.
