Dave was born December 12, 1938 in Youngstown, Ohio to Thomas P. and Kitty Prosser, where he attended Youngstown State University and was a member of the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity. He and Molly were married May 28, 1960. Dave worked in data processing at Youngstown Sheet & Tube until its closure in 1977 and then held numerous positions in the area until retirement.

He was extremely active in both the Youngstown and Salem, Ohio theatre communities, performing in dozens of local productions. He also served as a trustee and deacon at Christ Church United Presbyterian. Upon retirement, Dave and Molly left Ohio’s winter weather behind and moved to Venice, Fl. in 2003, where they maintained their long-time close friendship with Ian and Hannah McNabb, also from Ohio, and made many new dear friends along the way. Never content to stand idle in retirement, Dave was active in the Woodcarver’s Club, the Ohio Club, and directed many community productions of the Bay Indies Players. He also served as president of the Bay Indies Chorus and was active in the Bay Indies Covenant Church. Memorial services to be announced.
