David was the retired director and co-owner of the Eaton Funeral Home in Needham. In his retirement, Dave became a charter boat captain "Capt. Dave" of the Team Intruder. David will be missed by all those who were fortunate enough to have a relationship with him. His jovial presence lit up the room, his laugh could be heard for miles. He inspired others to "put their family first" and "you can do this" when challenged. His family wishes for others to pay forward these messages.
