I remember David from Cramer Jr. High school in Camden. David left school in 1948. I assume it was to work at Olga's original restaurant at 16th & Federal St. , Camden
Hard work paid off. I admire David's successes and accomplishments. He epitomized proof by his "American Dream " come true.

We are so sorry to hear of Dave’s passing. He was our neighbor and we enjoyed spending many hours with him in his “man cave”. He was so wise and we loved hearing about Greece and the restaurant business. He loved his children and grandchildren and spoke about them all the time. He was such a devoted husband and spoke of Freda with such love and respect. He often told us what a great mother and wife she was.
Dave was one of a kind and we will miss him very much.
