David Michael Rako

Dear Rako family, With great sadness, I want to express my heartfelt condolences for your loss. Dave was not only an exceptional leader but also a source of endless inspiration to me. In our time working together in the refurbished ultrasound business, he encouraged me to be bold, think creatively, and foster strong connections. Together, we truly ran as a team, and I will always treasure those moments of collaboration and camaraderie. His dedication, vision, and warmth touched everyone...

The Priest read this poem at my nieces funeral. I treasure it. I just spoke to Dave. He was always happy to help. I am saddened to hear this news.

I worked with David at Philips, I was saddened to learn of his passing. He was always kind, funny, and showed a genuine interest in my life. I´ll certainly miss him.

Knew "Rako" from Rockwell - always a pleasure to be associated with him. Truly a good guy. Thoughts and prayers are with the immediate family....God Bless.

May your memories of the wonderful times you shared with your loved one comfort you and your family, today and always.

My deepest condolences to the family. I knew Dave from Rockwell. He was a pleasure to work with.

Christine and family, I am so so sorry to hear this dreadful news! I remember Dave as such a nice guy and I admired your devotion to him and your children! One never knows what life has in store for any of us. Please know that I am praying and sending positive thoughts for you and your children. Love Nick and Annette Montecalvo

I had the good luck to work with and be managed by Dave. However we didn´t call him "Dave", we all called him "Rako" because there were so many "Daves" in the department. We worked hard, but we played hard too. He took his management job seriously and truly helped his employees boost their skills. He also took the time to recognize folks for a job well done. He implemented a Top Gun award complete with a flight jacket. He made you want to do your best and win that jacket. He also could think...

Sorry to hear this. Our kids all went to Lake Catholic together. God bless Dave and family. The O'Briens
