I just learned of this unfortunate news from his son, after stopping in to check on Dave. I met Dave when I needed to rent a car
monthly, back in 2009. We were both going through the same unfortunate circumstance at the time. He empathized with me and gave me a much better deal than normal. While renting a car, I would periodically stop in to the garage and joke with his mechanics crew of unique characters, to say the least, lol.
Dave was my age and we would talk and laugh about our life's experiences.
The last time that I saw Dave was when my wife and I stopped in to the garage to visit him two years ago, and we learned of his Lyme problem. I felt so badly for him I was sick inside. Although we didn't hang out together, I considered him a good friend. Thank you Dave.

Sorry to hear about your loss- Dave always was full of life! I will miss our conversation whenever we pass! If I remember anything about Dave it´s him telling me my Dad taught him everything he knew!

I am so sorry to hear of Dave's passing. As a teenager and new driver Dave was my mechanic. We also had a family connection. His mom and dad were best friends with mine Joe and Loveen Certo. They were also my sister Delaine's God parents. I have many memories of card playing nights and dinners togerher. His service station was also a hangout for us and we had so many laughs down there. Especially with his best friend as we called him Roger Cordoba. Prayers to the family at this time Dave was a great guy. R.I.P. my friend.

David was a true DeSales Sports Historian. We discussed DeSales Sports every time he fixed my car which was often.
A truly hard worker and servicer to all his customers.
