Dave was a loyal and good-hearted man you could always count on him; he was always just a phone call away. While he deemed himself retired from Faggas Funeral Home he could often be found taking a road trip to JFK Airport, he often joked that he should get a place in NY as he was back and forth so frequently. Dave was an avid New England Patriots Fan and never missed a game! He enjoyed trips to Mohegan Sun and his visits to Geno's Autobody for coffee and stopping by the office to check in with his girls. He loved fine dining and would often take his family and friends to some of his favorite spots. His witty personality and quick jokes will be missed by all who knew him. He was a member of the Irish American Club in Woburn and the Woburn Elks.
