David Boice Obituary

Published by John F Givnish Funeral Home - Academy Rd on Dec. 6, 2019.
David W. Boice, Sr. passed away on December 6, 2019 at the age of 79. Beloved husband of the late Ann M. (nee Fetters); loving father of Lynda McAndress (Michael), David W. Boice, Jr. and Bryan Boice (Regan); cherished grandfather of Michael, Krista, Cameron and Tyler; dear brother of Jerry Boice (Sue Ann) and the late Bill Boice (surviving spouse, Carole). He is also survived by many nieces, nephews and his dog, Ollie. Dave proudly served his country in the Navy. He was also an Appliance Technician for GE for over 30 years, coached baseball for Summerdale Boys Club, he was a huge Philadelphia sports fan and he loved telling jokes. If he made you laugh, that made him very happy. But most of all, Dave enjoyed his family. Relatives and friends are invited to Dave's Life Celebration Friday, December 13th, beginning at 10:00 a.m. and followed by a Time of Sharing Service at 12:00 p.m. at John F. Givnish Funeral Home, 10975 Academy Rd., Phila. Interment private.

The Collingswood High School Class of 1959 sends condolences to Dave's beloved family and friends. Dave's yearbook entry reads in part, "After leaving CHS, marriage and a happy life will be Dave's." We believe that prediction came true.

For the brief time that I knew your father at this later stage of his life, I really enjoyed our interactions. He passed too soon.

So many great memories of our wonderful neighbors growing up. If any appliance broke down, we climbed over the patio fence and told Ann to send Dave over after he ate dinner. He never let us down. We were lucky to have neighbors we knew we could count on. I really miss those days. Summerdale Ave is getting back together in heaven. I'm sure our parents are having a great time once again. Sending thoughts, prayers and hugs from the Howard's
