Dave was a valued employee of Hranec Corp for many years.  He was an avid Steeler fan and loved spending time at Alpine Lake, West Virginia with Kathy’s sister Sandy Kubina and husband Mike.  Dave also enjoyed visits with Kathy’s son Ken Lang Jr., and Kathy’s brother Randy Seman who always brought Dave his favorite jelly donuts.

Dave had a great sense of humor, positive attitude, strong work ethic and generosity of spirit which made him a joy to be around.  If anyone needed help, Dave was there – no questions asked.  He was kindhearted until the end, always trying to make sure that those round him were smiling.  He was deeply loved and will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

Dave’s professional funeral arrangements have been entrusted to the Blair-Lowther Funeral Home & Crematory, Perryopolis.
