He was a 1983 Graduate of Annville-Cleona High School, a 1987 graduate of Millersville University with a degree in Biology, and a 1990 graduate of Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine. Dave has been practicing medicine as a family physician for 35 years. He took great pride in his work and loved his patients. Dave was a kind and loving man, and a great comfort to those around him. He made sure to take care of the people he loved.
His greatest accomplishment was his girls, whom he loved with all his heart. He is so proud of each of them. Dave enjoyed spending time with his wife, daughters, family, friends, and his 6 pets. He was very active with his outside projects, mini orchard, garden, flowers, and lawn. Dave was a passionate Steelers fan along with his mother and would never miss a game. He also loved to golf, and brewery hop with his "bros." Dave was excited about exploring new places and taking his family on trips, likely collecting a new hat or trinket along the way. He treasured his many collections of holiday houses, trains, games, cards, and sports memorabilia.
Dave loved to spend time at the beach with his family, beer, and a fishing pole. He married the love of his life, Holly, on the beach in Ocean City, Maryland. His family and friends will remember his fun and competitive nature, and he was always up for a good board game. Every moment and memory with him will be cherished forever, and he will be deeply missed by everyone who knew him.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Arbor Day Foundation.
