David Giarla

Dave was truly one of the "good guys", always a big smile, miss him.

So sorry to hear about Dave. He lived in nahant near me. We went to junior high in nahant and Lynn classical. Dave was such a wonderful person. I was in some of his classes and Andrea's also. Again I am so sorry for your loss Andrea. Linda Cooke Johnson

What a beautiful tribute to Dave. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. He will be dearly missed. I am a regular at breakfast time at the Harvester McDonald's and I always looked forward to the days when Dave worked the drive-through window. He was beloved by his customers and employees and I appreciated all he did as owner of Christian Foods. Faith, Family, and Food were his hallmarks and he leaves a legacy of wonderful memories. Thank you for sharing Dave with all of us.

I was so shocked to see that Dave was even sick - would have never known! Have known him many years at the Harvester McD location - always welcomed me with a big smile, a good morning, was one of the nicest people I've ever met, and reading about him on here, none of all the wonderful things he has done surprises me at all. Please know, I pray for each and every one of his family members, for peace - and, I will never forget this wonderful person.

Loved seeing his smiling face at McDonald´s! My mom and I enjoyed his contagious smile and laugh! He will be missed!

Very sorry to hear this!

I grew up in Nahant and attended school with Dave through high school graduation from high school at Classical. As kids we played all the sports both organized and sandlot. Dave was gifted as an athlete and driven to success. When I last saw Dave at a high school reunion some years ago I was reminded of his love of people and his dedication to his faith. My sincere condolences to Andrea and family.

Dave was truly great guy and father and always a great host whenever we visited whether it be in Bristol, NJ or St. Charles, MO. Our thoughts and prayers are with the whole family in this difficult time. The obituary was very fitting in that he truly lived his life to the fullest.

My heart breaks for Andrea and all of Dave´s family. It was such a pleasure spending time with Dave and his beautiful family; laughs were a constant part of each visit spent together. May Dave RIP in the arms of our Lord.
