eternal rest April 2, 2025. Predeceased by his mother Joan, brother Brian, and father Donald.
Dave graduated from West Seneca East High School and received an Associates degree in

time as a delivery driver for Bob and John's La Hacienda, where he met his wife, Lyn. They
were married in 1983. He and Lyn, seeking a place with a barn for Lyn's horse, moved to
Newfane in 1986.

membership to Clinton Street UMC, where Lyn serves as pastor. Dave was supportive and
involved in any activity his son and wife were involved in, including Day Care field trips, Cub
Scouts, Boy Scouts, and the Newfane UMC's Lawrence McClure Memorial Handbell Choir,
often serving as "road crew" when the Bell Choir traveled to other venues.

Ende, sisters Pam Oswald and Lisa (Brian Foley), and nephew Liam Foley, and many friends and
co-workers.
