My sincere condolences to entire Raccis Family. I had the pleasure of going to grammar school with Dave at Sacred Heart School and then high school, St. Joseph, both in New Jersey. I can remember his parents fondly, too, as they knew my parents. Dave was the first friend I had over my house when we were younger. He'd get in touch with me when he came to New Jersey on business and we would get together. Always the consummate gentleman. We had a lot of common traits, lots of laughs and he was a true friend. I had the opportunity to see him at our last High School reunion. He will be missed. May God bless the Raccis Family during this most difficult time.

I met Dave freshman year at St Joseph HS Metuchen Nj. We shared home room and several classes throughout HS.my best memories of him are from marching and stage band. He brought joy and laughter to everyone. I was so glad to share a drink with him at our last reunion. Please accept the condolences of the entire Class of 79 as we mourn our brother. May he Rest in Peace with Christ.

Dave was one in a million. From his infamous accordion toss replication to the outstanding beat of the music. Always there for others to help or share a smile. Until we meet again...the beat goes on.

One of the finest human beings I've ever had the privilege of knowing. Mr. Raccis was so full of joy and fun and love!! I will miss getting random Facebook messages from him, with silly jokes! I also loved to refer to him as "Grammy award winner, Mr. Ra cis"! Michelle, Lanelle, Dave - I love you all dearly and you are forever in my heart, thoughts and prayers.

Michelle: Dave was always smiling and friendly whenever I played my violin for Lenny Gomulka's wonderful banquets. Award-winning Lenny's band always made me want to dance, and Dave's polka beat was outstanding. My thoughts, prayers and sincere condolences go out to you and your family at this difficult time. Please know that I wish to be of help. Stacia Filipiak Falkowski

Dave was a friend and colleague and I loved him in spite of the fact he was a Yankees fan. I will think of him fondly when the Yanks come to town to play my Rays. Rest in Peace my friend.
