David Grup Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Jun. 11 to Jun. 13, 2023.
David S Grup Cocoa - It is with great sadness and a heavy heart to announce the passing of David Grup. He died unexpectedly in Cocoa,Fl. He is survived by his wife Tracy, son David (Sarah), grandchildren David III and Hattie, along with siblings Jack (Linda), Jim (Joanna) and Peg (Rob) Zielinski. He was born with a fishing pole in one hand, and a harmonica in the other. He was either smiling or grinning and making you laugh. He made friends wherever he traveled. From his Navy days to his aviation days, he was passionate about helping others. Dave didn't want a funeral or service, but instead to be cremated "and thrown out with chum" at a favorite fishing spot. We will make sure he rests in the ocean near a favorite spot, but no chum. No formal services are planned. A small private ceremony will honor his wishes. Dave supported The Nature Conservancy and it's programs, if you'd like to contribute.

Dave was a great boss and mentor to me. We worked together at Cessna before he brought me over to Constant Aviation, where he was my leader. I will miss his laugh and smile greatly, and I know I will see him again one day in Heaven. Miss you Dave!

In loving memory of our friend Dave and to Tracy for her love and devotion to Dave's memory and incredible life. In the brief time we were fortunate to spend with Dave, he made his home open to us and made us welcome on his boat, taking us to view a space launch up close and personal. A day we will never forget, spent in the company of such a dear and talented man. Rest in peace Dave.

Dave was dear family friend. As we mourn his departure we also reflect on the good times we were fortunate to share with him, whether it was at work or fishing on his boat and many other moments in between. He was always a positive and fun person to be with and able to bring a smile on people´s faces with his quick wit. We miss you Dave. You will forever be in our memories . Rest in Peace.

Dave and Tracy were in our little town to celebrate her
Father's birthday. Dave supplied the music at the local hamburger & fries place. My husband and I couldn't get over how talented he was! He could really play that harmonica. He had everyone rockin'. A good time.
