David Gross

He attended University of Florida where he proudly played football for the Gators. He is survived by his daughters, Kaitlin and Shelly Gross, as well as his mother, siblings, many nieces/nephews and countless friends. He is predeceased by his father. David enriched the lives of many through his construction business and his role as a devoted foster parent to over 54 children. The memorial service will be held this spring in Carlisle. More information will be shared at a later time. David's smile, kind heart and sense of humor will always be cherished by those who loved him. He was truly one of a kind.

I remember him from junior high.  Mr Glaser calling him "dippity do"  and he calling Jack Happel "happel jacks".

I too have very fond memories of Dave. He was always great around me and I was over at his home after graduation and was impressed how greatious he was. Speaking of Mr Glasser in wood shop, does any one remember the metal shop teacher's name?

I went to a catholic school through 10th grade. They closed for financial reasons

I showed up at Baldwin in my Junior year. My graduating class at Baldwin was four (4) time larger that the 9th thru 12th grade total enrollmen at St. Wendelin School. It was a challange, to say the least.

Dave was the first friend I made at Baldwin. I met him in Glee Club. He and I both played the piano and boxed.

He made me confortablle, and it helped me adjust to a new and very different enviorment.

I won't ever forget him and will always appreciate him.

Dave was a close friend in high school then sadly we lost touch. He will always be remembered with joy, he was funny and kind and we were all blessed to know him.
