Dave was truly a gift from God. Everytime I came in or called him on the phone it was a pleasure to talk with him. His smile and laugh would light up a room. I never saw him in a bad mood. Everthing that I did for different churches, Dave was there to give his best advice. I trusted his judgement on every order. And every order the best in quality. I spoke with Dave the last time in his shop about Christ and being saved. I believe when I left he had Christ in his heart and I know for a fact that to be absent from this body is to be present with the Lord. He's with Jesus now, so family rejoice in knowing that we will see Dave again as long as we are right with God. May God bless you family and keep you.

I've know Dave for a number of years and he was one of the nicest guys I have ever met. When I worked at Washington Savings he would always make me laugh when he came in. He will be greatly missed and my prayers are with his family during this time.

I have had the pleasure of getting to know Dave over many years while coaching basketball at Holy Family and then through doing business with the Phillies. There was nothing Dave wouldn't do for you. You would give him a concept or idea and take it and run with it always making it better then you ever thought it could be. The best part of doing business was the time you would spend talking on the phone or hanging in the show room talking about family, sports or vacations. He was a good, caring and thoughtful man and had a great heart. He always found a way to say yes and make things even better than you thought. He took so much pride in his work. I enjoyed our friendship over the years. From everyone at the Phillies, our love and prayers to Beverly and his family.

I was saddened and shocked to hear of Dave's passing earlier this morning. Being involved with St. Dominic's CYO and other organizations over the last 15 years, I got to know Dave pretty well. He was always willing to help out the kids and really provided a great service to many organizations in the area. He will be truly missed.

I am deeply saddened to hear of Dave's passing. Growing up with Dave on Kayford Circle has provided me with so many wonderful memories that have lasted a lifetime. We grew apart as adults but I always felt we would cross paths and rekindle our friendship. My deepest sympathies to the Quaresima family, you are in my prayers.

January 30, 2012

I'm sorry to hear about David's passing, I can still remember playing together on Kayford circle as little kids.

Mr. Dave always will be to us, one of the “greatest guys” you could ever meet. He was there any time you needed him with advice, friendship, or just a funny story. He always went above and beyond to help just about everybody; it didn't matter who you were! Our deepest condolences to his family, but take comfort in the fact that Dave's legacy will forever live in the hearts of all of us: his family, friends, and just about everyone else who knew him. I was in Dave's shop with him the other day, and the last thing he said is, “Mark, it's always great to see you, and if you need anything, just give me a call.”---That was the quintessential Dave Quaresima! He and his wife Beverly have always been wonderful friends to our family, and we are eternally grateful! We will miss him more than words could ever describe and will fondly remember him as the charismatic, honest, and generous person that he was--- not to mention that smile that never seemed to leave his face! We'll miss you for the remainder of our days, and we love you! One day we'll see you again Dave, and if it's not too much, I'd like to ask one more favor: could you kind of put in a good word for me, I'm pretty sure I'll need it!”
