I knew Dave and Marge from country dancing, especially the Friday nights at the Sea Breeze Fire Hall. Those memories of our good times will always be with me. My sympathies to Marge, and may God bless Dave.
My condolence’s to all the family of Dave. I worked with Dave at Gleason Works and he was the nicest, funniest most genuine guy you would ever meet! He will be missed by all that knew him. Also hi to Dan and Raynae, hope you guys are doing well!
My sincere condolences to the family. I worked with Marge for many years at Delco. That was 45 years ago but I have fond memories as we all shared in one another’s lives.
My wife, Barb, and I met Dave and Marge at the “Roost” line dancing many years ago. We would also see them at other country line dancing venues. We got to be good friends going out to dinners and line dancing together. Dave and I would talk about our Navy days. Mine being many years after Dave’s. Always enjoyable talking to Dave. We will miss him dearly.
Dear Aunt Margaret,
I’m so very sorry for your loss! Uncle Dave was such a great man and full of love! I will always cherish my childhood memories of us all together! I miss you all so much and wish I could have been there for the celebration of his life! My father and Barb said it was beautiful! You and your family our in my prayers! Love you!
