David F. Nieman

My favorite memory of Mr. Neiman was the time my brother was in his gym class and my brother is special Ed. He treated him like a person and understood how to help him unlike all the other gym teachers. He made me realize that there is still good in the world.

He was my JV Football coach at Greece Olympia in 1993

I played Greece Chargers football with Dave under Coach Lambert. Dave told me he went on to coach youth sports because of Coach Lambert. Dave was an inspirational coach and an amazing athlete. Dave and I reconnected through women´s lacrosse. I will miss Dave dearly and blessed to reconnect with him. RIP David!

I played baseball and softball for years with Dave. I remember one spring during varsity tryouts he threw a ball to me so hard it burst the laces on the web of my glove. He was a great competitor, a good friend, and so much fun to be around. I was bowled over hearing the sad news.
