David Shiffman

David leaves behind his wife of 46 years, Mary; his children, Francine Coffey and Beth Shiffman; and his step-children Laura Lauck and Robert Harty. He was the Grandfather of 9 and Great Grandfather of 2.

David entered the United States Navy at 18 years old where he served 6 years. From there he went on to serve 30 years with the United States Coast Guard. David was a part of the original crew who helped build the Twin Towers in New York City. The welding trade was passed down from his father, and Dave later became a certified teacher for the American Welding Society.

Some of his favorite times were spent practicing his trade and being with his family.

A visitation for David will be held Thursday, May 4, 2023 from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM at Meadowlawn Funeral Home and Memorial Gardens, 4244 Madison Street, New Port Richey, FL 34652. A graveside service will occur Friday, May 5, 2023 from 12:30 PM to 1:00 PM at Florida National Cemetery, 6502 SW 102ND Ave., Bushnell, FL 33513.
