Dave, also known as “Poppy” to many, was a kind and thoughtful soul and will be missed and remembered by the many whose lives he touched. His faith always guided him throughout his life. He enjoyed telling stories, making everyone laugh, spending time with his family at the beach, watching movies from the 1930’s to present, and cheering on his beloved NY Yankees.
