David M. Provoncha

I was a student of Dave's back at East Haven High School in 1974. I must admit Dave's had a very positive influence on me.He made the auto shop a great place to learn.Indeed it was because of Dave I was able to graduate.I wasn't much interested at that time with the actual schooling process. It was Dave's support that allowed me to graduate and start a very successful career in the USAF. I'm saddened to hear of his passing,he was a fantastic teacher and mentor.My condolences to all that...

Though none of you ever met me, David and I were close friends when he was growing up in Morrisville, VT. Unfortunately, like all of us, we lost touch over the years though I never stopped thinking about the good times we had together. I was so interested to hear that David was a technical education teacher for 30 years as that is what I became here in Vermont for the same amount of time, retiring in 2017. I would have loved to have spent a weekend with him as we have always had so much in...

My heart is just shattered at the loss of our dear friend. We spent many years together in Vermont at their cabin and at Camp Gramps. Our littles skied together and we all snowmobiled together. Sled riding and snow shoeing were always a weekend ritual and afterwards we would have wonderful dinners followed by too much champagne and sometimes having to drive Karen and Dave home from our house! My Dinellie would help my boys and their friends with their homework! I truly miss those days but...

Karen and family, I am so very sorry to hear of Dave's passing. He truly was a wonderful man. I will always remember his smile. Keeping you all in my prayers.

Dave was a very treasured member of the Northford Timber Framers. His bright smile was as valued as any work he ever did on a barn. It shone regardless of weather, of toil, or quantities of sweat involved. We see the same smile in Justin, and know his family will always hold his spirit close. Thinking of you all, and all his friends.

I´m saddened to hear of Dave´s passing. I had a very important connection to him when we were both young. He will always be remembered as an important part of my coming of age. I hope his passing brings peace to all who cared about him.

Mr. Provoncha was my work study teacher at E.O.S. He had a great connection with the students and one of the reasons I graduated. Sorry to hear of his passing.

So sorry to hear of David's passing, I always like talking with him, he was very special.

My sincere condolences Karen to you and your family. Dave was a wonderful man and great teacher he will be missed by all. Bonnie Saba
