He graduated from Danville High School in 1974.

In earlier years, he was employed by Smith’s Sports and Toys and Bill’s Sport Shop and then started his employment as a Store Manager at NAPA Auto Parts in Danville PA, from where he retired in 2020.

An avid outdoorsman, he loved hunting, fishing and camping. He earned his Eagle Scout Award, which is the highest achievement in the Boy Scouts of America. He was an avid bowler at Midway Bowling Center, Danville Moose, and the Danville Elks. Dave was an avid fan of Dale Earnhardt, Sr., the Green Bay Packers, and the Philadelphia Phillies.

Dave will be remembered for his selfless heart for people, always willing to help anyone in need, especially his family and friends.
