Dave was such a nice man and will be missed by many. He and Mary Ann were great and helpful neighbors to my sister, Roseann, and her husband for many years. May God hold Dave in the palm of His hand.

David was like a big brother to me and my younger brothers and sisters - he was always with us and we loved him and Mary Ann very much. We cherish those memories and will miss him terribly. With love, Eileen

Sorry to read about Dave’s passing. Condolences to his family. We were teammates on the Dieruff H.S football team and the Jackson Squires City Champion Adult Flag Football team. A tough east sider who was a friend to everyone and a proud Army veteran.
Dave may you Rest in Peace
