David was a retired NYC Sanitation worker, and his fondest memories were working with The Carullo family at Staten Island Amusement Machine Co. in Rosebank, S.I. as a merchandising machine operator. He was so enthusiastic about repairing and restoring Jukebox's. It was generally the subject when talking with friends and family. Throughout his lifetime David had a passion for cars, music, piano's, and jukebox's. David always said his happiest moments was time spent with his late Dad.
Nobody could ever dislike David. He was there when needed the most. Always opened his home to family and friends and will always be remembered for his calm, kind, and gentle way. He had a love for eating, attending parties, taking day trips in his car with his wife, Silvia, whether it was shopping or just taking a drive with the top down in his convertible. They enjoyed walking outdoors together in Clove Lake Park, on the boardwalk in S.I., and sitting by the beach or river at the Jersey Shore.
