I will always remember having fun playing with (and being teased by) my beloved Uncle Dave. He touched many lives and we will miss him.

So saddened to hear of David's passing! Gone too young! He had so much to live for.....a wonderful large family and a devoted wife. But Gods will is best even when it's so hard to understand.
My thoughts and prayers are with the family. May God give you comfort and peace during this difficult time.

All who knew my brother Dave will certainly agree that he wouldn't waste time being idle! Right from when we were both quite young, he always drew me into his latest hard-working entrepreneurial adventure
When we were just nine and eight years old, Dave began by maintaining our neighbor's lawns. As he acquired more customers, he recruited me to do those that he could not handle himself.
In winter, he and I would bundle up and hike miles from our Detroit home to shovel snow at homes in the Grosse Pointes, because Dave surmised that residents there may have means to compensate us more generously.
At eleven, Dave started delivering newspapers, later delegating me to cover part of his route after he'd signed up more customers than he could independently handle.
At twelve, Dave collected remnants discarded by the upholstery shop just around the corner from our home in Detroit and asked our Mom to teach us how to sew them into coin & clutch purses. We sold them door-to-door, Dave promoting sales by charming those who answered their doors for the smiling brothers'.
At fourteen, Dave found his first formal job at our neighborhood party store' (bodega). Dave worked there diligently for two years, when, having observed Dave's efforts, an employee from the nearby Supermarket told him she'd recommend him for a higher-paying job there, since he would soon be sixteen and eligible for better employment.
But the owner of the party store had become accustomed to Dave's excellent work and told Dave he couldn't leave until Dave helped him find a replacement worker who would be as industrious as Dave had been.
When Dave arrived home at 2 AM after the store closed that evening, he woke me to inform me that I had to replace him. I was not thrilled with the idea of working late every night, and resisted. But Dave insisted, explaining how much fun it would be and how I'd meet new people and discover better opportunities.
So, Dave Closed the Sale', just as so he did so well and often in his later adult working life, successfully marketing Commercial Insurance products.
I became as successful at that first formal job as Dave had been, learning to make warehouse supply runs, calculate markups to price the merchandise, stock shelves/coolers oldest stock forward', maintain aging refrigeration units via frequent Freon recharges; but most importantly, by meeting many new people, just as Dave promised I would!
Without that first real' job into which Dave enlisted me, I would not have met those who hired me a year later to run our neighborhood TV shop. To this day, I believe my essay about running that TV shop by myself as a teenager was the reason my application caught the eye of the Kettering University admissions office and the HR department of my co-op employer, General Motors, where I was later employed as an engineer for 33 years until retirement...
I thank and remember my Big Brother Dave' for helping develop my drive' He will truly be missed...
