David William "Dave" Pinkerton, 71, of Lancaster, passed away at Hospice & Community Care on April 19th 2022. He was the loving husband of Christine (Arndt) Pinkerton, with whom he has spent nearly 50 fifty years of marriage. He was born in Lancaster to the late Charles and Mary Alice Pinkerton.

Dave worked as a machinist for C&D Technologies, where he dedicated 39 years. He attended King Street Church in Chambersburg, PA.
