Our Thoughts to Dave’s wife Arlene and Daughter Karen and Husband Dave and all of the Family and Friends 🙏😇. Rest in Peace Brother. Dave and Sally Bosanko
My deepest condolences… I remember Dave and Arlene, along with Karen from Oregon Street as a young girl. Wonderful memories!
My sympathies to Arlene and family. I worked with Arlene years ago at Oster’s (with Laura, Rosie, Pat, Doris) and knew what a lovely person she is and how close Dave and she were. They weathered many a storm together. Dave will be greatly missed I’m sure. I am very sorry for your loss.
I have known Dave since high school. He was a good friend to me and later to my wife, Sarah, and kids. RIP my friend.
