Dave was a huge part of the Sacred Heart Church Family. We all loved him and send condolences to his family and his in-laws Pat/Gary Hunter as well as his nephews and nieces of the Hunter Family who helped care for him for these last several years. Sympathy to the Knights who also spent so much time with him during his life.
It is always sad to see a good friend leave, but where Dave has gone is place to be joyful about. Dave was such a joy to be with; such a positive outlook on things and such a good story teller when it came to jokes. He would have you in tears before he even got to the middle of the story. I have definitely missed out little gathering group up at Sacred Heart since I moved, but the memories are very happy. Such a great group of common people to share all the life brought us. I am sure Dave is resting at peace in the hands of Mary and Jesus. Forever blessed to have had you in my life, Chris Cassesa
