Our deepest sympathies to Dave's family on your loss. Dave and Ruth were my wife's and in-law's neighbor and whenever we visited Williamsville I enjoyed his cheerful smile and friendly greeting.

To the Quagliana Family, So very sorry to read about the passing of David. We were neighbor's on Westminster St back in the 50's. Many great memories of our early days. We found each other ten years ago and had some great chats. Will miss him. James and Sheila Winter, Jamisontown, NSW, Australia

My sincere condolences to Doug, Donna, Danny and David on the passing of your Dad. Your family was one of my favorite stops when you all were very young delivering the Buffalo News. Your Mom and Dad were two of the nicest people I ever met. I'm very sorry you have to grieve the loss of both of them within such a short time. Now they are together in Heaven watching over you. God bless your family. You all are in my prayers.
