I recently had breakfast with a friend that asked me if I knew where Dave was or what had happened to him. I just found out today that Dave has died. I'm sad to hear this. As Phil Payne said in his tribute, we three hung out a lot together growing up and through our early adult life. As we reached driving age, we would stay out half the night detailing our cars! Dave was meticulous! His yellow 67' Nova SS was one of a kind. I lost touch with Dave after he left Delaware and moved to Maine. Dave you were a great friend and I'm sad that you have passed before we were able to catch up again. RIP my friend. Steve Gibson

I wasnt sure if this was my long lost friend, Dave, or not. After looking at other sites, i believe it is. I am so sad to learn of his passing and my condolences to his friends and family. I met my friend Dave while he was living in Detroit Maine. Dave was a good friend. I enjoyed spending time with him and valued his advice and intuition. Later on i moved to Florida but kept in touch with him by phone. The last time we talked he was in PA and his phone became disconnected and i lost touch of him which always bothered me. Dave was an awesome friend. I will always remeber our times together and I will continue to miss him RIP brother.

I am his ex-wife. We were married in 1978 and divorced in 1992. We did enjoy camping, canoeing, being around friends and family. May he rest in peace; thinking of his Father, Stepmom, brother and half-brother in this time of sorrow.

Dave was a dear friend of ours many years back. We lost touch with him but he was never forgotten or far from our hearts. I’m sure he would have been so proud of his sons, Todd and Matt. Our deepest sympathy to the Giffing family.
