Dave was such a special man and friend. His wonderful smile and endearing sense of humor, only a few of his unique qualities. I will miss him dearly and am grateful for these past years of friendship. He really fits the description of a “diamond in the rough”. I can see him laughing about that.💗
Dear Lisa and Ambler Family,
We are so sorry to hear about Dave’s passing. We are sending our love and prayers to you. Big hug to you Lisa. Love, Uncle Clem and Gerri
There are no words to describe the sorrow in my heart for you all. Lisa, Dave’s love for you radiated whenever you were in the room. So many alumni of Danversport Elementary and DHS Class of ’83 are sending you love and holding you near. I will miss my friend, and fellow Port Rat. I am so sorry for your loss.
All my love,
Kim Niciewsky O’Donnell

Dear Lisa,
Ernie and I are so sorry about Dave’s passing. You two were a great couple and your love for each other was obvious. You are in our thoughts and prayers to help you get through this. Hang on to the good memories, they will help you heal. Love to you. Ernie and Janet Tantillo
Hello, I did not know Dave on an incredibly personal level, but I didn’t have to to know he was a genuine, caring person. He always seemed willing to lend a hand or an ear, and I got the sense he really cared about what you were saying to him. I remember conversations we’d have about jobs or service calls that would turn into long funny stories about how crazy life can get somrtimes. Work ethic can tell alot about a person, and although I know it must have been an incovenience, he would not hesitate to help me out if I needed it. I did not know Dave as well as I would have liked, but I do know that I miss him, and the world is a colder place without him in it. Wishing you the best,
-Mason
Lisa,
I’m so sad for you and was shocked to learn of David’s unexpected passing.
I trust his memory and love will bring you comfort. Peace.
I was sorry to hear of my fellow DHS Classmates passing. My condolences to his wife and family.
