Always a good guy and ready to help a friend out.  It's been a few years since P.S. 80 but still think of Dave fondly: in my prayers.

For me, Dave was a reliable source of wood for my projects, sage woodworking advice, and good cheer.  He always had a story about his family or one of his many buddies that never failed to entertain.  I always looked forward to seeing him.
He was taken too soon from us and will be missed.
Dave and his family remain in our thoughts and prayers.

My condolences to Dave's family.  I've been a customer of his for years.  His influence is part of quite a few of my projects. His advice and guidance will surely be missed.

To Val and her entire family, our heart felt condolences. All your friends at Suburban Pediatrics.

Monica,Val and family, My deepest condolences to you. My prayers are with you.    Basil Piazza (MHS)

Rest in Peaca,Dave
Been a long time...life is way too short.
to do all we wish to do.

I met Dave for the first time only last year. I took woodworking instruction from him. He was always patient and willing to pass on his knowledge. He made time for me and introduced me to the constant stream of friends coming into the shop. My condolences to his family and friends. He was a great guy and I am richer for having known him.

My deepest sympathy to the Elberson family.on the loss of dave.

Monica and Mike,
So very sorry to hear of your tremendous loss.  My deepest sympathy to you and your family.

Val, our hearts are breaking for you and your family.  We will remember your Dad with a twinkle in his eye and smile on his face.  Whenever we came to NY he was always so kind to Madeline.  Dancing with her at Dyngus Day. Always went above and beyond.  He had invited us out to the cabin one time and it was Mads first time seeing snow.  He made that day so special.  I also remember him coming home it was the day after Thanksgiving (before I knew you and would be out shopping with you) from shopping with six mini crock pots. You know they make great gifts, he seriously said he wished he had picked up a dozen.  Take a dip, leave the pot.  We liked him immediately when my brother introduced us.  Dave Lew we know you lost one of your dear friends.  Stay strong you two.  We love you both very much. Sending big hugs and all our love your way.  Deb & Todd

My deepest sympathy to the Elberson family ... May  you find comfort in the loving memories shared. Gods peace unto you my friend

My thoughts and prayers go out to the family.  He will surely be missed!

DEAR DAVE, we were pals at Kensington, and though I live far away, and despite the passage of time, I still remember you and the many laughs we shared. RIP my old pal. Charlie Priore Class of 71 Kensington.

Dave, you weren't supposed to leave this earth so soon. I'm going to miss the visits to your shop, your calls for sunglasses & contact lenses and your famous parting phrase "have a good one"! 
Rest in Peace 'ol buddy. See you on the other side.

Patty so sorry for your loss. You and your family will be in my prayers

May the candle burn bright and the memories never fade. sending my condolences to you and your family.

So many memories.  A couple of my favorites - We would drop off Linda (she always had to be home early)then Sheree you and I would go to the Drive-In and one of us would hide under the tire well so we only had to pay for two.  Or when I was 14 years old and you taught me how to drive - in the old station wagon.  My heart goes out to the entire family. Love, Lori Pasquarella

Sorry for your loss. May the God of peace keep you strong. Php 4:6,7

So many amazing and happy memories, and reasons to be grateful that we were friends. 
Eternal rest grant unto David oh Lord, and may perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
Much love and deepest sympathies to the entire family, including your own inspirational family of your friends!

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family during this time.  Dave was such a happy-go-lucky person, always a smile for you.  We always made a point to see him during our summer stay. Sorry we didn't get a chance to see him this year. We were very surprised to hear of his passing.
Jim and Linda Wappman, Floral CityFL
