Further survived by cousins, nieces, nephews, and many more friends and relatives. Playing baseball in high school and in the United States Over Thirty Baseball League, Dave was one of the top players for the Middlesex A's. He established Dave's Appliance Service at the age of 20, and solely owned and operated this successful appliance repair business for 40 years. Dave was a skilled guitarist, awful dancer, and a loving father. He enjoyed a good guitar riff (preferably Duane Allman), watching the Mets, beer and chicken wings with friends, and a good soak in the tub. He was a loving father to his three children and provider for those who needed him. He will be missed. Private services will be held on July 13th, 2020. In lieu of flowers, donations to Eric Clapton's Crossroads Centre are appreciated. 'Beyond the door there's peace I'm sure And I know there'll be no more tears in heaven'
