I had the pleasure of meeting David as a classmate when I first moved to Carlisle
in Fifth Grade, in 1969, at Hamilton Elementary School. Yeah, he was the blonde kid with the Big Bangs from North West Street,
almost always with a smile, and possibly being up to something...but never anything bad -- just fun. (That doesn't mean
that our teacher, Mr. Fay, didn't notice!) He had a great warm attitude and it was always good to see him. Although I
had not seen Dave since our high school graduation in 1977, I am certain that his life took many interesting turns since that
point. I understand the he worked in helping maintain chimneys -- a working class job if there ever was one, but one that
helped to keep his customers, and their homes, safe. May friends and family find consolation in the good memories of his life.

To the Pittenger Family-
Im so sorry to read about the loss of Dave. Im so upset about the loss of such a great man. He was always nice to me and
my children and everytime I saw him he always made it a point to say hello and ask how I was doing. He never acted like he
was better than anyone else. It is a true tragedy!!! Im thinking of all of you in your time of sorrow, especially Melissa.
God Bless!

I want to send my sincere condolences to the entire
Pittenger family on the passing of David. I know how much he meant to you all. David was an awesome friend, classmate, teammate
and a remarkable golfer. I have many great memories of David. He was quite the envy of the male population in Middle school
because he was always dressed so perfectly in the latest styles. He often told me he had his sisters to thank for that. Mr
Pittenger, David's father and his older brother Steven were also the topic of discussion during our bus rides together
to away wrestling matches. He many times we would reflect on their support and guidance as a major role in his great attitude
about life. He was always positive and I can't ever remember seeing him without a smile on his face. I will miss
him terribly, but, I am really greatful I had the chance to experience some of the more important life experiences with him.
On behalf of the entire Saporito Family we send our heart felt Condolences!

I am so
sorry to hear of Dave's passing. I went to school with Dave and he was always very friendly and down to earth. Our Daughter's
were in school together in both Carlisle and Big Spring. Dave always said hi to me and gave me his big smile when our paths
would cross during school and sporting events that Allyson and Melissa were involved in. He was a great guy and Melissa my
heart goes out to you. I know you and your Dad were very close, I'm so sorry that you lost your dad. I will keep you all
in my thoughts and prayers. Dave will always be in your hearts and your memories of him will help you get thru this most difficult
time. Deepest sympathy to all of the Pittenger Family.

It is always surprising to learn of the passing of one so young.
As a classmate and wrestling teammate,
I spent countless hours with 'Pitt',
our 98 pounder, who always amazed me that he made weight.
I
echo the words of Dave 'Sap' Saporito.
May God's grace fall upon all of Pitt's family as you remember
his life.

smile and hugs! Since I have left every visit back home I would see Dave @ the G man. We would pick up the conversation like

for me....

So
sorry to hear of David's passing. My thoughts and prayers to the entire family. I got to know David in high school and
he became a close friend. He even came out west with us but he only stayed a few months. Always kept in contact and saw him
every summer on my visits. Always a smile on his face and a handshake and hug to be had. He will be missed. God has a golfing
partner, look out. God bless.

My sympathy to the Pittenger family. David was one heck of a nice guy and loved by many. My thoughts and
prayers have been with you since hearing of his passing, but only today learned I could post my condolences and thoughts from
this site. May God be with each one of you in this time of sorrow.
With love,
Vicki

To Patti and Kathi and all the Pittinger family,
I
graduated with David -- moving to Carlisle in high school it was difficult to make new friends -- as others have said; David
always had a smile and was kind. We had a homeroom together and he always spoke to me and made me feel welcome. Mr. &
Mrs. Pittinger did a great job raising their five children, as Kathi and Patti were just as kind to me when I met them. Requiem
in pace David.
Tamara Hutchison

very much. Thanks for the some of the best memories of my life.
