David Hancock Obituary
David aka "Dude" was a loving father, brother, grandfather, and friend.
He enjoyed spending time with his daughter Julie, sister Rallou, grandsons Jack and Alex, best friends Ann, and Tyronne, and friends in New London, CT.
David was a very happy, loving, and joyful soul who brightened your day with a "Hello", a good laugh, and a good quick match of Red Sox trivia. He was an avid Red Sox lover. David was proud to be born and raised in New London, CT. David could always tell you all the historical sites and is proud to always call "New London, CT" his home city.
He is predeceased by his Mother Ollie Ballafsi, his sister Donna Cataldi, his brother Stephen Hancock, and his sister Stephanie Pfleiger.

So many great memories of Dave, the first trip to Fenway Park, the summer in Waterbury, chew and show... If you were a part of Dave's clan you were having fun, laughing and making memories that last a lifetime. Someday we are all together again, you will be missed until then and never forgotten.
