I am sorry I was not able to make the service for Dave. I worked with him at VESID and have many good memories of him. He was well-liked and very friendly and never had a bad thing to say about anyone. He will truly be missed.

I worked with Dave at the Little Falls Employment Office while I was a high school student back in 1975-76. Dave was always kind and courteous. He was a good listener and was always interested in my career goals as a teacher. I saw him years later and he was still the same, gentle man I had known years before. I was so saddened to hear of his passing. My thoughts and prayers are with Dave's family at this most difficult time. I will always remember Dave D'Aiuto.
