Deepest condolences to Lisi family members, relatives and friends. I was privileged to have had Dale as my Science Teacher and knew his younger brother as a student while passing in the halls at Edison HS.

David's presence will be dearly missed by his family. Even during his illness he remained pleasant, considerate, and thankful. Love you always.

Dave was the best!!! Since he retired I've missed him coming by my office! He would always asking if he was bothering me. Of course I'd always said no. His reply "oh darn"! My favorite memory of Dave was if I was at the front desk and he was leaving. He'd try to get out of the door before I could say; Bye Dave, thank you for spending your day with us! We greatly appreciate you! Hope you come back tomorrow "! He would just laugh and walk fast! His last day in the office he let me say it with out trying to avoid me.
So my dear Friend- thank you for spending time with us! We always greatly appreciated you! Till we meet again, we'll hold of those beautiful memories close to our heart!!
My prayers and condolences to the Lisi family!!!

I was sadden to hear that my former coworker had passed away. Just less than a year after he retired. Dave was a go to guy when I needed something while I was out in the field. I could always give him a buzz and he would take care of any issues I had. RIP my friend. You will be missed by many.

July 27, 2017

My condolences to the Lisi family. May prayers strengthen you and memories comfort you. May our Lord Jesus Christ and God our Father, who loves you, comfort your hearts and make you firm during your grieving process.
