We are so sorry to hear about Dave’s passing. We just heard about it today. He was a wonderful man and neighbor ( Heron Cove in Stone Harbor). He will be missed. Terry and Gene Flanagan

I was so sad to learn of Dave's death.  We worked together at Mountainside Hospital. He was a wonderful boss and genuinely cared about the patients and families we served, as well as the staff.
His sense of humor and his caring made the work we did so much easier. 

So sorry to hear of Dave’s passing.  My memories of him are from the 1980’s at Mountainside Hospital. Always smiling and joking with everyone.  May he Rest In Peace🙏🏻

I didn't know your father well. He was a colleague of my husband. However, from the moment I meant him, he seemed to know how to make me laugh and more importantly ...he knew how to make me feel special and a part of his circle. I always felt "welcomed to his party!" Although  we feel the void of his absence; the caress of his spirit remains.
With heartfelt sympathy,
Pam Cucco

My condolences to the family.  May He Rest In Peace and May Eternal Light Shine Upon Him.

So many great memories of times in Stone Harbor with Dave!


Kevin, Jack and Family, 

With extreme sadness I write to you, attempting to express heartfelt sympathy  for the loss of your Dad. 

We had a day at the beach, on Sandy Hook  August 24th. We talked about many random things. The "old days" of Eddie's Lounge, John Lavin, college, Carol O & Bruce. All fondly remembered all these years later.

Dave said he was in a place in his life where he was very contented and quite happy. I asked why he said that and without any hesitation he said because of how proud he was of his boys, how honored he felt to be their Dad. Oh, and that he was learning how to play golf and enjoying it - despite making fun of the game for years!
In true Dave fashion, there is always a laugh somewhere. 

His humor, his intelligence and his kindness will be missed. Think of the laughs you all shared, even through your tears.

Fondly,
Joanne Scellato 

Dave was a wonderful man! Very funny too. =) 
Many prayers of healing and inner peace. 🙏🏻💜



Kevin and Jack,

I am very sorry for the loss of your father.  He was a great guy and I had the good fortune of working with him.  He understood business well, but he understood people better.  His attention to details on things like birthdays and anniversaries meant a lot to me and those who worked with him.  I will also miss his great sense of humor.  He made every day brighter.  Finally, he spoke daily about both of you.  He was so proud of both of you and find comfort in the fact that you were his entire world.

I first met Dave over 30 years ago at Mountainside, first as a colleague then as a trusted friend. I had the pleasure of meeting his family and texting and speaking with him just a few weeks ago and we spoke of Dave visiting me in Florida in January.  He was always good for a laugh and a good time and will be remembered in my prayers.  

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Dave was a great friend and amazing person.   Wishing comfort and peace to Dave’s family. My deepest sympathy. 
Sincerely,
Charlene Mondesando

Dave’s sudden and unexpected passing brings great sadness to all who had the pleasure of knowing him. Dave was a very bright, effective and considerate executive.
I had the great pleasure of working with him when he oversaw the radiology department at Mountainside  and   during his stint as acting CEO.  Dave always had a smile even when his beloved Yankees and football Giants succumbed to the Red Sox and Pats. His keen sense of humor, ever present good nature and kind heart will be greatly missed.  RIP

This picture is a little fuzzy. It was taken at the Prep  50th reunion last October. We had a great time reconnecting that night. We were friends at Prep but I moved out of state after college. At the reunion we spent the night reminiscing. One memory we talked about how after the graduation ceremony a number of us went to my basement and we helped ourselves to my brothers Cold Duck. So glad the I got to share great memories that night and reconnect with Dave and others. 
You will be missed buddy.

I'm so sorry to hear of Dave's passing.  He hired me at Mountainside hospital, and was a good person to work for.  He was always lots of fun to meet with and to share stories, after hours.


Dave was a cherished friend and mentor. We shared our love for Rock and Roll, the NY Giants, and Mountainside hospital. So many great memories! Our prayers and thoughts are with Dave and all of his family and loved ones.

So sorry to hear about Dave.  When he would come over to my home in Teaneck with the guys, he would make my mom laugh so much. She loved when he visited.  Fond memories of Dave.   So sorry.
