So sorry for your loss!
Dave was a friend and a fun schoolmate. He always had a smile and a great sense of humor that made us laugh in the school halls at Shelton High. He enjoyed being there
As an a adult, David was serious and dedicated to his family, students, and his church. We would see each other at reunions, parades, St. Joseph Church baptism and his Great Holy Celebration.
May you Rest In Peace in Gods Kingdom.
Sincerely,
Amelia D. Valente Class of `59

We will miss you so much Dave. You are now resting with your wife, Gracie, whom you have missed so much. May you both be smiling and laughing away and cheering those Gators on.
R.I.P.
Love you both.
