I run the steam train thru Deep River where David and I both lived. It was a standard routine for me to do Jingle Bells on the locomotive whistle those frequent times we were both at Deep River Landing. This greeting carried over in town with the wolf whistle on one of my antique cars. I miss seeing him as a fixture in our community and I miss our street side conversations. Rest in peace, David.

"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart." - Helen Keller
Santa Dave reminded us all to BELIEVE - in the magic of Christmas, in the goodness of humankind, in the beauty of innocence. He brought a lot of joy to our community and he will be remembered fondly.

I hired Dave as a custodian at the Chester and Deep River Elementary Schools, when I was the superintendent of schools. Dave always greeted me with a happy smile and a good word. I saw him awhile ago and he told me he was training to become a Santa Claus for children served by hospice. He loved his role as Santa and brought much joy to children.
