David shared a special bond with his wife of 46 years attending many events together sharing many of the same interests, flea markets, yard sales, gun raffles, shopping, and ending the night with a cup of tea and watching westerns.

Dave was a devoted family man. He found immense joy in spending time and supporting his family and loved ones. He looked forward to working with Jean on getting ready for Camping, working on her house, and having Sunday dinners while watching football together.

Dave had a lifelong appreciation for the great outdoors. Especially when he spent time hunting with his son Mike, his family, and his buddy Mark. He held great respect and appreciation to both the owners and the land he was offered the opportunity to hunt. He was especially grateful for his time hunting on Dairy-Knoll Farms and forever thankful to the Meyer family

He had a special bond between himself and his granddaughter Jade from playing basketball before school, taking her to school, and watching her concerts and dance recitals. He was the Best Grampee to her. They played practical jokes on each other quite often, usually with snakes and spiders because she knew Grampee did not care for them.

A celebration of life will be held at a later date. Memorial contributions can be made to; Wilmot Cancer Center, 601 Elmwood Ave., Rochester, NY 14642. To share a memory or a condolence, please visit:  www.doughertyfuneralhomes.com
