David L. Summerville, 69, of Fleetwood, PA, passed away on April 18, 2014 at Stone Ridge Towne Center

Myerstown, PA.

He was the loving and dedicated husband of Sandra L. (Bear) Summerville. They were married on November 25, 1967 at Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament RC Church, Harrisburg, PA.

Dave was a 1962 graduate of Butler Senior High School.

He was member of West Reading Crime Watch and Fleetwood Neighborhood Watch.

He retired from CVS (formerly Revco/White Cross) in 2009, after 34 years as a retail manager. He continued to work part-time at various CVS locations, following his retirement until 2011 when he became ill. He was also employed much earlier in his life by the US Post Office in Harrisburg.

Dave attended Good Shepherd Evangelical Lutheran Church, 4201 Stoudt's Ferry Bridge Road Reading, PA.

He enjoyed golfing with his grandsons and especially attending golf tournaments with his friends from CVS

He was a proud and loving grandfather who enjoyed taking his grandsons on many trips as they were growing up and attending their school activities, sporting events and especially loved going on roller coasters with them.

Being from the Pittsburgh area, he was an avid fan of the Pirates and Steelers.

Surviving, in addition to his loving wife of 46 years, are his daughters and son-in-laws, whom he treasured and loved unconditionally: Michelle L. wife of Donald W.

Auchenbach, husband of Sarah (Plank), Fleetwood; and the apple of his eye, his great-grandson, Nicholas Scott, who brought him so much love and laughter.

Also surviving are a brother, Lawrence E. and his wife Cyndy Summerville, Henderson, NV;

a sister, Jean E. wife of Edward Rodemoyer, Butler, PA; and many nieces and nephews.
