Dave was the source of the many desig criterias that we employed to make the best printing presses in the world. He was a true engineer always technically based in his recommendations. He was a very important member of our research team. He also was a journeyman woodworker and I cherish the wooden dog he gave me at retirement. God bless Dave. Rich

Mary, I am so sorry to hear about your husband, David. If you remember, I am the "other Mary," who stopped by with the two dogs. He was a wonderful neighbor and I loved to stop and talk to him on our walks. Know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Mary, I was so very sorry to read of David's death. He and I were classmates from our days at St. Michael's Parochial School to S.H.S. I hadn't seen David probably since graduation in 1968 and was so looking forward to seeing him last June. Please know that you are in my prayers and that I pray that God's perpetual light shine upon him now in the loving arms of our creator and the Blessing of God, Father+, Son+ and Holy Spirit+ be with him . -Father Tony Dinoto
