David Taetle Obituary
Born in Washington, DC, on June 8, 1950. Mr. Taetle attended Bryant University before embarking on a long and successful career as a financial consultant to automobile dealerships throughout the US, Canada, and Australia. He was widely respected in his field for his integrity, deep knowledge of the industry, and his steady, practical guidance.
A devoted fan of Washington's sports teams, Mr. Taetle rarely missed an opportunity to cheer on his hometown favorites—especially baseball, hockey, and football. His enthusiasm for D.C. sports was exceeded only by his loyalty to the people he loved. Known for his warmth, humor, and generosity, he was a steadfast friend whose presence made any gathering brighter.
Mr. Taetle is survived by his wife, Marcia Taetle; his daughters, Julie George and Jodi Pietrzyk; two granddaughters; his sisters, Dorothy Spitalney and Shirley Taetle; and his brother-in-law, Ronnie Spitalney.

I am sorry to hear this sad news. I got to know David briefly last year while attending Leah's wedding. David made it possible for me to attend with ease. We had some nice chats in the car. He told me about his family and grandchildren and his love for all of you was evident in his smile! May he rest in peace.

David was a wonderful source of support throughout our 8 year friendship which I value highly. His sense of humor was infectious. He always spoke of his family --his lovely wife Marcia, his children, and grandchildren with much love. My sincerest condolences to them, other relatives and his many friends. He will be much missed.
