Debbie & family,
I did not know David but I remember Debbie & Mrs Rago from Staples. I am so sorry for your loss. It is always so tragic to read about the loss of one of "our own". I lost my older sister age of 39 so I understand your grief. My thoughts & prayers are with you.

My heart goes out to the whole rago family. Dave and i were very good friends in high school. Sadly we didn't keep in touch afterwards. I did however share one of my very best lifelong memories with dave, as we were teamates on the Hoopsters. That was the name of our intramural basketball championship team! What a great team with dave wells, tony luciano, myself paul arcudi, dave rago , marc foreman and josh stewart. We were the best and dave was our leading scorer. Dave you will be missed

I was very saddened by the news of Dave's passing. I remember him as such an upbeat and fun person. I was on a baseball team at Staples that he helped coach. We all liked him very much. My deepest sympathy to his family.

My brother, Eddie, introduced us to SuperDave a few years ago. He was a SuperFriend to my brother. He was so nice to us and we very much enjoyed his company when we were visiting in Black Rock. Dave was interesting to share conversation with, and interested in everything. We will miss seeing his beautiful smile.

To Alice and the Rago family,
It is difficult to put into words how much I miss your son. Although we had only known each other for a short time, we both felt as if we had known each other forever. I will never forget our times together as they were all good times. I know we both reminded each other of times in our live's when we were happier. I will never forget how happy he was to get on a mountain bike and just ride, far away from society! Dave will always be a part of me. I will miss him dearly.
Dave loved fishing!

Dave was a wonderful friend! I was very lucky to meet him, We had so many good times together. I will miss his laughter and his warm smile, he was always so helpful on the boat or gardening or at my deck parties. I hope he has found peace now that he is with his dad. He will be missed by me and all my family.
