Suzanne-
Larry Marianacci called me with the news. I cannot tell you how sick I felt the next two nights. Dave did everything he could by getting himself checked out prior to his passing. He was one of the fastest sprinters during our years at WAHS and junior high. He and I always had laughs together as we matured and will certainly be missed. God Bless you and your family Suzanne. He will give you the strength you need at this time. Our time will come to be reunited with Dave once again.

Dear Suzanne, My heart & prayers go out to you & your family . I remember going with Dave(DIP) to the Christmas formal. Dave always made us smile, I'm sure through your marriage you did alot of smiling, yelling, etc but to be married for 23 yrs that was an accomplishment. Please remember you are in many people's hearts and thoughts now. If you ever need a ear call me like we did when you lived on Montgomery Ave. Trish Bilder Forry 717-695-3236

My Mom just told me and my sincere condolences go out to the entire DiPietro family.
My memories of growing up in Wyoming are as clear to me now as back then. Dave (Dip) was truly one of the "characters" from my childhood. I will always remember his humor and laugh, but also his athletic prowess. I can remember a decent jump shot and a pretty good fastball.
Godspeed Dip...say hello to Ticy, Jugsy and whoever else is up there. Maybe a little two on two...

To the DiPietro family, my heart goes out to all of you in the passing of David. I grew up a street over from you on 6th st and remember David well even though he was younger. I believe he went to school with my brother Kenny. My hope to you all is his memories bring you peace at this time. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Suzanne and David, our hearts and prayers go out to you. Dave is sorely missed in the lab. His creativity and sense of humor made our work lighter. We may find someone else to help, but Dave is irreplaceable.

A memory of my cousin, David...my parents, David's Uncle Bobby and Aunt Debbie, and us kids, were visiting Aunt Joanie and Uncle Danny...it was summertime...I was about 7 or 8, so that made David around 14 or 15...my brother Joseph and I were wrestling with David, when I ripped David's t-shirt, just a tiny little hole...but I began to cry, dreading the fact that I would be in trouble...no matter David's attempts to assure me that it was ok, I cried nonetheless...David went into the kitchen, and returned with his t-shirt, now ripped to shreds and ketchup all over it, screaming that a 7 year-old girl beat the crap out of him...I laughed...along with everyone else....that was a glimpse of the man David would become...he didn't want to see me cry...he wanted me to laugh...thank you for your gift of laughter, David...say hi to your dad, my Uncle Danny and Grandma for me! Watch over Suzanne and David...
