Dave was a loving husband and best friend, a father with unconditional love and encouragement, a son and brother who loved his family dearly and a friend to all who crossed his path. Dave was a dedicated sports fan, who loved the Washington Redskins and New York Yankees, and who always made time for a game of golf with friends.
Family will receive friends to celebrate his life on Saturday, Feb. 23, at the Unitarian Universalist Society of Geneva, 102 S. Second St., Geneva, IL 60134, with the Rev. Dr. Lindsey Bates officiating. Visitation will be from 4 to 6 p.m. with a memorial service to follow.

"Meat" was one of my best friends in high school. He was one of the four immigrants, including myself, Sponge Rousseau, and Alex Lushpinski. Although I am deeply saddened by his death, I have many fond memories of him that will live on forever. Judging from the obit and comments, Dave continued over the years to be a fun guy to hang out with, and an overall kind person, as he was in high school. Peace be with you.
