Dave was one of the nicest guys I ever knew and worked with. Rest in peace, Dave. You definitely deserve it.
Dave was a kind and caring person. I always remember how good he was to my son Craig. He always treated him with kindness. He was always supportive and always giving a helping hand. Dave’s genuine kindness was something I will never forget. He was an amazing family person which resonated as all my kids and my husband knew the family. Both Dave and Karen demonstrated their love towards others always. They were always welcoming to all of us. So sorry for your loss but his memory will remain with us forever❤️. Love Maureen and Peter Lueke
Matt and I send our love and condolences to all of Dave’s family. Our little Sodus neighborhood hasn’t been the same without his charismatic, colorful personality. While being one of the hardest workers on the block he was made even more impressive by his humility, kindness, generosity and dedication to his family. We miss him greatly.
Sincere condolences to all of the family. Dave was such a good guy.
Gone to soon, my thoughts and prayers to the family. May he RIP
You will be missed Dave! I remember the summer times when Dave would stop by his brother Rick’s and Lisa’s home.(my neighbors )He’ll be working in the morning, going a 100mph and then in the afternoon he’ll be just chilling drinking a cold one. He was friendly and usually had a positive and encouraging word.
Look forward to seeing him again in a world where pain and death is no more! (Rev. 21:3,4)
The electrical trade and the town of Danvers has lost one of the good ones.
Rest easy Dave.
