Dave – Dearest Friend and Brother
God called for you too soon so he must have important work for you to do. He knows all too well that you can do anything you put your mind to. We'll look forward to seeing you in heaven so that the party can start all over again! Rest easy Junior.
Bobby and Anita
I will miss you and you’ll always be in my heart ❤️
Dear Carmella,
We want you to know that our hearts are so heavy with sadness because our world will not be the same without him. Especially want to send you all our love and prayers as you grieve but know that our God will never take us where his grace won't sustain us. He is carrying you and will be always and know we are with you in our thoughts and prayers.
One of my memories was when David picked Bonnie and I up at the airport when Uncle Frank passed away and we encountered construction cones blocking the road and David just jumped out saying "I'll just take care of these cones" and we watched him pushed them aside. He did not let anything get in his way! He lived his life that way as you stated in the obituary. May he rest in peace and pray for us where he can see our needs from Heaven. LOVE, Patti and Peter
My Dearest Brother. I will miss you so much already but boing with God gives me peace! You had to take that last Harley ride with Jesus on his most sacred day. Know you had fun and did things your way! You were always their for me in good times and in bad, for that I will always be grateful. Could always count on you! We all love you Uncle Davey!! My dear Carmella our hearts are with you, and know you will never be alone! We all love you too Auntie! Best Sister a girl could ever want. All my love Anita
My darling brother Dave had a heart full of the love for all people. He was an extrovert. He loved being around people. He spent many nights after work or dinner in the bar, not so much to drink; but, to be around people, his friends, and always happy to meet new people. We we were young and living at home with our parents, Dave would be going out at 10 PM, and I would be coming home. I was 4.5 years older than him. He wanted to be out with his friends always. Dave was a person who was available whenever possible to anyone who needed his help. He was a man of many talents in the artisan trades. He could fix anything. He was extremely intelligent and a very quick learner. The Lord blessed Dave with a wife, Carmella, who understood him to his core, and gave him all the freedom he needed to live his life. She is the love of his life, and her love for him is never ending. We will all miss him with all our hearts, he was the kingpin of the family. He was the energy we all needed. Now he is in Heaven watching over all of us. One day we will all be together again, and Dave will be ready for the party. I love him dearly, and miss him with all my heart. Lynda
You will be dearly missed. I have known you since 6th grade. You were always full of life.
Fly high sweet angel.
Rest peacefully.

We are praying for the family during this time of great loss. So many memories of a man who was a true warrier to fight the good fight, who loved deeply his wife, family and friends, who spread joy with a great laugh, and gave hope to all in spite of darkness. Truly David lived a virtuous life and his reward is eternal with our Lord. To Carmella, the love of his life, and the family and friends who grieve, our heats are with you and we pray for the strength of God's grace to carry you. All our love and affection, Cousin Bonnie Kimnach, and husband Bob.
