I will fondly remember Dave as a passionate man of action and integrity. He was a treasure as an ally that I could trust implicitly and count on to do what was right. Our years working together developed into a friendship and that I cherish and mourn for our collective loss. My sincere condolences to the Kuchinski family - his smile and laughter will be missed by so many of us.

Dave was an honorary member of the Oksutcik family from the time he and Gary ("Ox") were in high school together. We all loved him as a son and as a brother.

However, no time on earth is long enough to spend with those we love or to prepare ourselves for the last good-bye. Dave, we were not ready to say good-bye, but we believe Terri was there, waiting for you, to say hello....

Sorry for your loss to all the family. I remember all the fun times we all had growing up on Gail Drive, sledding down the big hill, snow forts and snowball fights, ice skating at the horse pond, playing Kick the Can in the summers. There was quite a range of ages of the kids there but we all had a good time together. Dave had an awesome sense of humor. Rest in peace Hacksaw.

I'm so sorry to hear of David's passing. I hadn't seen him for years, but I have such fond memories of spending time together as kids on Gail Drive. I had a bit of a crush on him. He was always so nice even though I was a little kid. Thoughts and prayers to the whole Kuchinski family.

I am both shocked and saddened at seeing this news. I have known Dave going back to the early 80's at the John Barleycorn (we went to the same HS but were years apart). We had some great times in those days and it was always fun to bump into him over the years here and there and catch-up. I admired how he handled the loss of his wife Terri. He is now with her now and I can only hope that this reunion is everything we can imagine. As you rejoice in heaven we mourn the loss of a really good person. RIP Dave. My Indian heritage has a prayer that I would like to pass along:

I give you this one thought to keep
I am with you still - I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the sweet uplifting rush,
of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft starts that shine at night.
Do not think of me as gone -
I am with you still in each new dawn.
