To the Hobart family - I am sorry to hear about the passing of your Dad. Thinking of you during this time.
My condolences to you John Paul, Brian, Dennis, Greg and to your families..my heart goes out to you during this difficult time.
I was just in the process of trying to track Dave as I remember him from high school. I’m a resident of 841 Battell St and noticed some time ago he has been a tenant there. A board member was kind enough to give me a reference of MacCoubrey funeral home and I assumed maybe he worked there part time but in checking out the site I discovered he had passed 3 weeks ago. I’m in Florida till April so unable to attend the funeral. Please express my condolences to the family. ( can’t believe I missed him by three weeks 😥)
My thoughts are with you John- Paul, Brian, Dennis and Greg. Many fond memories of your dad when we were all growing up. He knew how to have fun.
John Paul, Brian,Dennis, Greg, thinking of each of you & your families. Dave & Jane were so active at St.Michael’s always involved & willing to help where needed. A great family within the parish & the community. Four great sons. Dave was a volunteer driver for the Children’s Aid Society for many years , he was so willing to help & so patient with the children & families. We so enjoyed working with him. Sending thoughts & prayers for strength, peace, & all good blessings.
