Condolences
I was saddened to hear of Dave’s recent passing. I was fortunate to have worked with Dave in his role as a Board member and Staff at what at the time was Park Ridge Health System. Dave was a highly dedicated and caring individual who truly made a difference for the people of our Community and I have many fond memories our friendship.

Dave came to Oak Orchard while I worked there. He was very kind. I remember he would always bring us scones from the local bakery in Brockport and even had a company picnic at his house. He was super easy to talk to. Although I haven't talked to him in many years, I am glad to say I knew him. My condolences to his family.
Hi,
My name is Harvey Miller. I don't think that any of Dave's family will know who I am. I was Dave's roommate for our Freshman year at the U of R.
We had an exciting year together. Our first time away from home. (even though we both grew up locally) We had a lot in common. On Wednesday nights we would take a break from studying to watch our favorite TV programs in the lounge of our dorm.
I played basketball that year and Dave became the manager on that team. We joined different Fraternities and I lived in the Fraternity house the next year, so we didn't spend as much time together.
After graduation we went our separate ways, as most college friends do. I did see him on occasion at university functions and often thought of him.
Dave was a fine person. A good friend and gentleman. I can see from the pictures that he was a great family man.
My thoughts and Prayers are with all of you in this difficult time. My Wife passed three years ago, so I know the emotions you are dealing with. Rely on your Faith, Family and Friends.
My Condolences.
Harvey
I first met Dave at Cloverleaf Squares Square Dance club. He was always warm and friendly and a good dancer. We were a singles club and he danced with many of the members to be sure everyone had a good time. I remember the great annual clam bakes he hosted. I now live in South Jersey but Rochester was my home for 40 years. To Mary and his family, You are in my thoughts and prayers. Faith L Giamboi
I worked with Dave over his entire career at Oak Orchard Health Center. He was a joy to work with: congenial, available, dedicated and smart. Dave's years at Oak Orchard were some of the best for me and it was because of his leadership. I mourn his loss. A very good man. Jim Goetz, MD
He was such a rock and a support when I was attending the Baptist church during a very hard time in my life. He took the time to talk to my two boys and assure them that things would be ok....just be a team and believe that things will get better....I will always be thankful..Donna Harris Kase

I was so sorry to hear of Dave’s passing. As an administrator in the Hilton School District at that time , I had the opportunity to work with Dave during his time as a Board of Education member. He was an incredible Beard President, always listening thoughtfully and asking meaningful questions. He had a gift for facilitating meetings, ensuring that all voices were heard. His contributions were many and I learned a great deal from him. My sincere condolences to his family.
I am so saddened by Dave's passing. He was such a kind, gentle man. The world is much less with losing his energy and thoughtfulness. He will be missed.
