So sorry for the Szymas family. I hope Dave is playing guitar 🎸 in heaven
I am Terry felix it was a pleasure to meet David he was a kind caring nurse at the nursing home Iam very blessed to meet David and his singing was very peaceful being an amputee his words kept me going David and his family are in my prayers
I first met Dave when I was a Junior Volunteer at NOCH and he was a paramedic. He inspired me to become a paramedic. It was such an honor to work alongside him in the ER for many years. We had many laughs together and lifted each other up through the bad times. Dave was such a great mentor. I will always remember the stories of his puppy he got in the late 1990 ish years. Sometimes I thought the puppy was training Dave instead of Dave training him! I remember helping Dave with patient care, cleaning up something very unpleasant and Dave looked at me and asked in such a professional way "Do you often wonder how and why we got into the medical field?" at that moment I didn't know if I could laugh or cry, but I loved every minute helping him take care of the community. RIP Dave you were such a great mentor!!! My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Szymas family. Jaime Cagle
On behalf of our residents at MediLodge at the Shore, David will be so missed and we hope he is resting peacefully. Not only did he take care of our residents but after he moved on to a new building, he was still willing to come and volunteer his time to play music for them, which they loved. Thank you David for all you did for me, but especially our residents who really loved you so much.
