While this disease may have robbed him of some of his physical abilities, it failed to destroy his beautiful mind and heart, his keen and tremendous wit and his ever-present guidance we all cherished.

After graduating from medical school, Dave held various positions until his diagnosis in October.

In addition to his storied medical career, Dave practiced personal injury law with Judge Robert Julian in Syracuse, NY.
Since early childhood, Dave wanted to be a physician. Throughout his extensive career, he delivered hundreds of babies, was a teacher, a mentor, a healer and always a scientist. His humility touched so many and his heart was one of a kind. He was an eternal optimist and was everyone's cheerleader. He had a knack for telling amazing stories and enjoyed making those around him laugh. A man of unusual empathy, insight, tolerance and compassion, he brought love, understanding and guidance to the lives of everyone who knew him. Dave was never afraid to fight for his beliefs, for those who were wronged and in recent was referred to as "fierce".
Dave is survived by his sister, Jill (Brian Gallagher), of Manlius, NY; nephew, Jack Lamberton, Manlius, NY; niece, Elise Justman, of Havertown, PA; aunt, Jane Moore Price, Fayetteville, NY; Mark Moore (Virginia), Michael Moore (Fayetteville) and Matthew Moore (Virginia).
He was predeceased by sister, Karen Justman, in August 2021.
He leaves an enormous void in all our lives and we will carry him in our hearts and minds eternally.
