Sending my heartfelt condolences and prayers for peace and comfort to his family. I met Dave many years ago and then again at world gym, then we became next door neighbors. Reading of his passing really saddens my heart, he truly was a wonderful and loving man, kindness filled his heart and soul and he always, always had kind words for everyone.

I met Dave at World Gym years ago and so looked forward to seeing him every day! What a ray of sunshine and such a kind and good soul. He told me how much he missed his son and dear wife, hopefully, now they are together again. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family that he so dearly loved.

To David’s family,
What a wonderful man that God is welcoming home. I had the pleasure of working, volunteering with him. He was a true
friend. Always a gentleman, kind and always had a smile. I remember his Mom. Miss Alice. What a sweet lady. His wife Mary who always came to play bingo on Friday nights
At St. Leonard VFD. His son David who was so much like his Dad. I had the pleasure of working with him on Thursday nights when he taught a class at Carol Porto’s Rehab where I worked. God brings people into our lives for a reason until he calls them home. May God be with all during this time. David is with his family in heaven, looking down & smiling. You will be missed my friend.

My first memory of David was his portrayal of Santa Claus at the Hospice Festival of Trees. Later, when I was his pastor at Waters Memorial, I knew that I could count on him being at his station as usher. He lived a life of quiet, faithful service to God, his family and his friends. He will be missed. May God surround those left behind with peace.
