David W. Read, Sr., age 65, of West Deptford, NJ 1952-May 25, 2018

Legacy

Dave was a loving and supportive family man who dedicated all his love to his family, especially his grandchildren. He enjoyed entertaining friends at home. He was an avid bowler, golfer and enjoyed testing his luck at the casinos. Dave’s sharp wit and calming voice enforced his role as the go-to guy for any question you had or any advice needed, or simply a kind counselor to listen to your troubles.

Life’s challenges rolled off his strong shoulders and always had the be calm, ‘oh well’, and the ‘it is what it is’ attitude.
