Dave was a great person and always cared about others. I have a thousand stories about Dave. Countless memories and good times with Dave. I got engaged in Dave's living room after one of his Shawn's Oakwood football games. Dave was a best friend of mine and I will never forget his humor, his passion, and I will never forget his great friendship.

Suzanne, Tusa Mary, Shawn, Carrie and family, Tiffany and family, Steven, Jane and family,
My heart is heavy at the death of David. He was like the older brother that Susan, Lisa and I never had. We had such good times when he would take us to his home when we were growing up. He was always interested in everything we did and always wanting to hear about my sons. We have so many holiday memories, and times spent at the lake around the fire and playing hide and seek at night. This was before Steven had his boat, and we had plastic rowboats to float around and race in, but what fun! Also Romanian Orthodox Easter at Mama Tina's - we all fit around the diningroom table. I know he is in a better place where everyday is the Fourth of July (one of his favorites). I can't wait to see you again cousin.
Love, Barbara and family

I only knew Dave for a short time. I met him through a friend where I work. I worked for Dave on a couple of construction projects. He will be missed, he was a super guys with a great attitude! Always had the can do attitude. This time of year was good for him as he liked to watch the NCAA tournament. He was fun to work for and learn from. Prayers for Dave and all of his family.

Suzanne, Mary, Shawn, Carrie and family, Tiffany and family, Steven, Jane and family,
We were so sorry to hear about David's death on Palm Sunday. We will always remember and treasure his friendly, outgoing personality. We always enjoyed meeting David and the family at Berlin Lake in Portage County where they owned property on the lake. We would meet about every week-end especially when Nick (David's father) was living. We are thankful for the fond memories that we have.
Love, Aunt Norma and Uncle George

Dear Dan family,
So sorry to hear of his passing, seems like yesterday we saw him at "Cheers", he loved his golf with the club and had so many friends in all places. He loved to watch the Ohio teams in football. He was loved by all that knew him. Our prayers are with all the family, may he rest in peace. I know he will be missed by many who knew him.

Dave Dan was my first real ‘boss’ that I worked with since I was seventeen on home improvement projects. We created and shared many funny stories together over the last 20 years. He was a very big influence in my life and where I’m at today. Dave will be greatly missed by my family and all who knew him. The man would always give his thoughts and advice on any subject and people enjoyed to be around him. Thank you Dave for being part of our lives………
