David Bak Obituary
David K. 1/25/57 - 12/20/15
David K. Bak, 58, passed away in his sleep on December 20, 2015, joining his parents, Harry and Joan (Krispin) Bak, in eternal life. David leaves behind his children, Andrew Bak and Jenna Bak. Also surviving are sisters, Linda Rogers and Melissa Nawrocki; many cousins; his nephews and niece and their children who greeted him with hugs and shouts of "Uncle Dave!"
He was a millwright at Daimler Chrysler, retiring in 2009 after 30 years. Dave was an exemplary baseball and basketball player at St. Francis DeSales High School where he will forever hold the "asterisked" record for the most points in a single game (40 in 1975) as the 3 point shot rule was not yet implemented. Dave was also an avid golfer, enjoying tournament travels, and of course rooting for the Phillies and his Celtics! Shout out to his many close friends and Jeepers, whom he so enjoyed spending time with.
A Memorial Mass will be celebrated at 10 a.m. on Saturday, January 30, 2016, at St. Patrick of Heatherdowns Catholic Church, 4201 Heatherdowns Blvd. Interment will be private.

Dave, I was sorry to hear of your passing. You were a friend , a teammate, leader and our team captain. I was there and helped the night you scored the SFS record 40
points....you were there and did nothing to help me the night I 'held' Truman Claytor to 35 points. LOL I talked to a few of the guys and they were saddened to hear the news , many were unable to come.Anyway, this morning I met your two special children, Jenna and Andrew, they will love and miss you...what a legacy you leave behind.

My sincere condolences to his family. I also went to St. Francis with him and worked at Jeep with him as well. We continued to play ball together in the Toledo recreation leagues in the 70's and 80's winning multiple city championships....he was a brother to me at that time and will be sorely missed.
