Daga was a friend of mine for nearly 70 years. We played basketball together, laughed, and had a good time. He was outrageously funny —one of a kind. I soon have a novel to be published, and while it is fictionalized, our exploits are included. What a joy it was to have him in my life. He will be sorely missed. Heaven will appreciate his presence.
What a wonderful gentleman. I played many rounds of golf with Davey at the CCD . We were in the summer of our lives and never gave a thought of the winters to come. He was loved by everyone he touched ; friends, patients - basically everyone. Our hearts are heavy and know what the family is going through since we have lost both of our children. Now friends will be important. “Friends are those quiet angels who lift us to our feet when our wings temporarily forget how to fly “ you friends Sherry and Phil Wiant
Dave was a tremendous friend and a great neighbor. We will miss him very much. Our deepest condolences To Mary, the boys, and his grandson. May his memory be an eternal blessing.
My condolences to David's family. I am was so sad to hear of his passing. We were the best of friends during our teen years & he was always special to me. He came to my husband's funeral in 2017, which meant so much. RIP Bodaga!
I'm sure Dave (Specs) is enjoying a round or two with Dale, Doug and Toes! Diane, Jackie and Bill will miss his smile and humor.
