My deepest condolences to the Dudash family! Dave was one of the few people who excepted me as a friend when I came to Pennsylvania. His knowledge of transportation made him the complete operator. Never a bitter word to his riders or his fellow workers. You will be missed but, we will meet again .

David was a close family friend and a wonderful man to many. My finest memories were the trips to Oak Island for family vacations and the many compliments he would give me while getting my dresses fitted from Crissy. May he Rest In Peace.
