I grew up with Dave playing at Hazelton Wright park. We were good friends through RFA. I am sad to hear of his passing. My sympathies to all of the family.

I grew up on the same street with David. He was my cousin. My mom and his mom Irene were sisters. One of my favorite memories of David is he let me borrow his treasured record albums including the Beatles White album.  My husband Richard and I are so sorry to hear of his passing.  Our condolences to all of his beautiful family. Love,  cousin Mona 

To Dave’s family, so sorry for your loss!  I played softball with Dave for several years, and he was so much fun on the field, as well as a good competitive player. He will be missed!  Rest In Peace, Dave. 

Goodbye Dave! I enjoyed every minute with you! Such an enthusiastic skier but more than that— enthusiastic about life and people! Always positive, the glass was never empty with Dave! We had a great time in Whistler together, he was a daring and adventurous skier. Plus he adored his boys!! Spoke about them with great affection. And what a sense of humor! He was always smiling and lending a hand! 

I knew Dave as a competitor on a softball field, watching the memorial video I realized he was so much more.  Warm thoughts and prayers go out to your family at this difficult time.

I am very sorry to hear about Dave passing.We played on several teams together, as well as against one another on opposing teams. Dave was a firey player and he pushed everyone to be their best We had a great time in the senior softball leagues and I always enjoyed our conversations during and after the games.Glad to have known him.I know he will be missed .

Shocking news. I was looking forward to playing softball with you again on the Silver Suggers. I will truly miss your enthusiasm and spirit for the game. You were a fantastic teammate and enjoyed playing the game with you! 
Rest with angels Dave.

Joanne, Diane, Jean ,Michelle and David's family, Please accept our condolences on your loss of David. Our thoughts and prayers are extended to all. God Bless and in sympathy, cousins Tom and Tarry Marchesane

Dave, was truly an amazing man.   I worked, played softball, skied and traveled overseas with Dave and he was always an absolute pleasure to be around.  He taught me so much throughout the 20 years of being his friend.  It was indeed an honor to know Dave and to call him a friend.

I met Dave when I  hired into DEC in the 1980s. He was always energetic, a motivator, and considerate. Somewhere in the late 80s the  DEC "gals" started a women's softball league. Dave volunteered to coach. Boy did we give him a hard time! He ran a "tight" practice and we'd irritate him when we arrived late or chatted too much or missed balls over and over. But he was always there for us, kept us organized, ordered jerseys, signed us up for leagues, and found players in a pinch.  We all loved Dave and his enthusiasm to make us better. He was the glue to the team. We did this for a few years, always Dave coaching. 

Off the field, at work Dave was always known to share a story and make people laugh. He was easy to be around and always made people feel included.  He was diligent about executing his job responsibilities. 

It was an honor to know him for many years at DEC. 



Though I haven't seen David in 50 years I remember him always as a kind and gentle person. May his soul rest in peace. 🙏

This memory goes back to 1967. During our last two years of high school,  Dave and I would walk home together at the end of the day, almost every day. I wish I could remember what we discussed. He drove a 1963 Ford Falcon and I had a 1957 Volkswagen. I was frequently hanging out with  his mom and dad, in their kitchen, watching them cook Italian dishes. Irene, his mother joked that I was her second son. Dave had a mind for math and he utilized it very well, settling in Colorado as the senior electrical engineer at several well know companies. The good news, which I had not known is that he retired over a decade ago. Someday I hope to meet his children. Have some great stories to share. This hits me hard.

I enjoyed time with Dave because he was so full of life.  Playing golf in Wisconsin and hitting the ball diamond hard in Colorado Springs to skiing in Breckenridge, Dave was always doing something.  He had flare for the the dramatic which with some people leaves you shaking your head however with Dave, I always wanted more of the story.  I will miss our time.

Sorry to hear of your passing. You were a great pitcher who could pitch to the defense. I usually try to move the defense in the outfield but you were so good at pitching to the defense that I suggested you place the outfield where you wanted us last summer. May you rest in peace Dave.



Dave,  I will miss you.  I so enjoyed our time playing Senior Softball here in Colorado Springs.   We had so many great times.  You were one of the best Softball pitchers in our Senior League.    Rest in Peace,  Tim Ryan

Eric and Michael, 
    I am sorry for the loss of your father. 
With deepest condolences, 
Aunt Jean
