I have many fond memories of my cousin David; from our childhood and young adult years with my brother Michael on Long Island to our most recent get together 3 months ago. David loved cars as far back as I can remember, and always enjoyed a good laugh. Like everyone else, I was shocked to learn of his sudden passing. He was like a brother to our family. For those who love God, like David did, the eyes of faith show us that the grave is not the end but rather the beginning of a new life in Heaven with family and friends that went before us. Jesus made this possible with His supreme sacrifice – his death on a cross long ago. Therefore, let us be grateful and filled with hope that one day in the not-too-distant future, we will see David again, smiling and welcoming us to our eternal home in Heaven. Anthony Artusa

Dave  will always be remembered for his warmth, kind, and caring person. As his former wife, I had the privilege of sharing so many beautiful years with him. Together we raised 3 wonderful children Cynthia, David and Christine.  Each carries a piece of his spirit and values , serving as a testament to the love we once shared as a family. I will always cherish our memories. Rest peacefully. You will forever be missed, but never forgotten.  Linda

My father was an incredibly strong and wise man. He helped how ever he could. Whether it was sharing life stories to relate, wisdom, advice, or a different perspective.  He had a way of turning a small moment into a deep life lesson. He was the type of father every son needs to become a better man and I’ll always thank and respect him for that. I’ proud of how he carved his own path in life and I look up to his level of strength, drive and courage.  I’m forever grateful for the time we spent together and the moments we shared. He will be missed immensely but he will live on with us through the way he shaped us. Love you Dad.

Our beloved son David was a kind and considerate person that was always by our side to help in any way possible. We are very proud of him and the man he became. We were truly blessed to have David for a son. David brought so much joy into our lives as we watched him grow and mature. We shared many enjoyable days as a family doing a variety of things. David blessed us with three beautiful grandchildren Cynthia, David & Christine. We feel truly blessed to have had such a wonderful son. He will be missed by our entire family, but not forgotten. We thank God for the time we had together.
David’s loving parents.
