Memories and Condolences
for David Dudley

Not sure what to say?





You may be gone David, but always remembered, you were a typical mischievous boy when you were young, but boys are supposed to be mischievous, love puddles and dirt piles, I loved that about you, that’s why you were such a pleasure to have in our daycare, never worried about getting a little dirt on your hands. Always knew when you were going to have a good day because you always brought that smile to my house with you, which was almost every day. That smile is a memory I will always have and treasure.

David and my children used to love holding the parakeets when my son was four and David and my daughter were five. David was always happy, but this particular day David put the parakeet on his head and had the biggest smile. I will never forget you David or that day. You always brought such joy to our family. You were such a happy boy and a big hearted young man I know your one of Gods angels now. Till we meet again. Sincerely Barbara Kauffman

I miss your smile. I knew David since he was about five. He came to my house before and after school and no school days. He was always so happy that whoever was around him could be nothing but happy to. I ran into David a few times when he was older when he had his motorcycle, he loved life and lived it to the fullest. He was a great young man that I am glad I had the pleasure of knowing.

It's hard to believe Dave has been gone six years, he is always coming up in conversations with the kids, he is missed very much.

To the Dudley and Scandura families,

My most sincere and heartfelt condolances are with you during this difficult time. I didn't know David that much, as I had met him through a mutual friend, but from what I did know, he was a very nice, caring and down to earth person who always had a smile on his face and was quick to help others out if they needed it. It's always sad when we loose someone so young. May he rest in piece in the arms of our lord.

Warmest regards,

Michael Magnano
