To know Dave was a special thing. He was a genuine friend, a loving husband of 65 years to his beloved wife Carol, a dedicated father to Linda (Tim), Janet (Mike) and the late David Jr. (Cindy), an adoring and supportive grandfather to his eight grandchildren and two step grandchildren and a doting great grandfather to his 10 great grandchildren and two step great grandchildren.
A proud veteran of the United States Navy, once he was out of the service, Dave’s career took his family on a journey across several states where he provided the family with loving homes and many new friends along the way. His love for golf was unmatched. Alongside his passion for golf, Dave had many talents including playing Bridge, telling stories, winding-up children and making them laugh and starting lively and spirited discussions – all those qualities endeared him to all who knew him. With a great zest for life, Dave and Carol shared a love for travel, going on many cruises and visiting family and friends along the way.
A ceremony to honor Dave’s life will be held Saturday, May 18,2024 at 10:30am located at New City Church, 2500 Carmel Road, Charlotte, NC 28226 with a reception to follow. McEwen Funeral Home - Pineville Chapel, in Charlotte, NC is assisting with the funeral arrangements.
Contributions can be made to the Johns Hopkins Comprehensive Brain Tumor Center in memory of Dave Bugno as he was anxious to support the research and treatments to cure cancer.
Dave’s legacy of faith, love, laughter, and cherished memories will forever live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him. A testament to a life well lived, he will be truly missed.
