David J. Chelini

We will miss Dave so very much! I was blessed to have played drums for Dave over the last 15 years! We had such a great time playing gigs together as well as enjoying our friendship with both Nancy and Dave. Dave was so good to my mother Val Floren Brewer over the years as well. When Dave and I played a duet at my mothers memorial service last Nov. 27th and the accordion jam band I had no idea that it would be our last gig together. Dave was a wonderful friend and an excellent musician. I...

I got up this morning hearing about a Polka club in Ohio playing many accordions and thought about Dave and Nancy as neighbors in the late 60´s and early 70´s. After searching Dave to see if he is still playing I´m so saddened to learn of this tragedy and want to offer my condolences to Nancy and all of those who share in these losses. Being the same age as Dave and starting our families at the same time on Tangerine Avenue in1968 we were able to share many memories from horseshoes to golfing...

Dave was one of my first friends when I moved to Sacramento in 1956. We played sports together, worked together at Frostie KIng and SMUD, and shared a lifelong friendship. Nancy and all the Chelini family are in our prayers.

Please accept my sincere Sympathy in the untimely passing of David. I knew him when he worked at my Grandfather and Father's Oldsmobile dealership, Foulks Motor Company in the 50's. I began working there in 1955 and remember how well liked David was. He has always been a winner! Respectfully, Carolyn Foulks Bailey.

Dear Nancy and family, I was so sorry to hear of the accident that took David, your daughters and Steven. A loss of anyone of those people in your life is bad, but to lose them all at once is unimaginable. You and David raised a great family and you will all get each other through your grieving process, step by step. Wishing you all peace and love.

Dear Nancy and families. Our prayers are with you all. May God shine his light upon you. May your loved ones Rest In Peace.

Dave was such a wonderful person. He played the accordion for me at the Pheasant Club. My condolences to you and your family. He is with you at all times.
