David Andrew Bednarczyk

Dave has been a major influence and inspiration in my life since I met him in 1994. I decided then to change from working on surface ships and to move over to the submarine world, as I had great admiration for his work ethic and his drive for perfection. For me, Dave was a mentor, a friend, a leader, and a very positive influence in my life. I will miss him greatly.

Was saddened to hear of the passing of David. He was the young engineer that came to work with all of us "older" guys at CNSYD in the Electronics area. He became an asset at Combat Systems and great help to the Shop 67 submarine workers. And we had some laughs working together. Rest in peace, DAB.

Dave touched many lives at NIWC. Dave was a shining star in this world, he was dedicated to his family and the NIWC mission. His leadership, wisdom, and laughter will be missed around the command. Please accept our deepest sympathies for your loss.

Dave represents the very best as a patriot, servant leader, friend, teacher, mentor and warrior. He poured his love into his own family and his "work family." NIWC Atlantic and its predecessor organizations, the Submarine Force, the Navy and our Nation are forever indebted to Dave for his selfless sacrifice, superior technical skills, dedication to the warfighter, and compassionate leadership. He will be greatly missed and long remembered. Heartfelt prayers and condolences to Dave´s...

I am in shock seeing this notice. Dave was my first gov't supervisor on a temporary basis and then later I was at SPAWAR/NIWC on a permanent basis. I always looked up to him and his integrity and mentioned that quite often when I saw him. I know for a fact that he loved his family so much. I honestly don't know what to say except that you can be so proud of him and he was so proud of you. May God bless you all and help you through this.

I'm truly sorry to hear about the passing of your husband and father. My thoughts are with you during this difficult time. If there's anything I can do to support you, please don't hesitate to let me know.

My thoughts/memories of Dave match the other condolence messages that his friends and co-workers left. I also remember him as a man of honor and integrity, thoughtful and considerate, hardworking but with cheerful enthusiasm. He was someone that I always trusted and truly enjoyed working with over the 20 years that I knew him. For those of us who knew him professionally, the world feels a little emptier now.

Rest in peace classmate

We met when I was in the Combat Systems Office at Charleston Naval Shipyard and he came to work for us there. He came with an outstanding work ethic and we became friends. He will be missed greatly. Rest in peace my friend and God be with you. Until we meet again smooth sailing.
