KINGSTON - David M. Redpath, 59, passed away Friday, Nov. 25, 2022. Born in NYC on Apr. 21, 1963 to David K. and the late Kathleen (McVeigh) Redpath.

David grew up in Briarcliff Manor, NY and graduated from Ossining H.S. where he participated in track and cross country.

David had an abiding interest in photography and aviation. He enjoyed travel through the U.S., Europe, and Asia with his family.

He was the devoted father of David Nicholas and Vincent Joseph of PA, whom he cherished and enjoyed walking them to and from school in their primary years. Brother of Karen (Jason) Caravaglia and uncle to Ryan, Gina and Justin of VA. He was beloved by many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.
