David McCrary

Very sad news for us all as we report that Dave McCrary passed away on Sunday.

Dave was a life member of the GVDA. He has served local darts for many years as player, captain, director, chalker, supporter, blogger and a notorious and committed shooter of the wedge. 

Outside of darts he was a kind and generous man and the thoughts, prayers and hearts of so many will be with his family, especially Scott and Lea who are both longtime members of the GVDA community.

Details of the family's arrangements:

Thursday 4pm to 8pm Wake Alvah Halloran Funeral Home 2125 Chili Rochester, NY 14624

Friday 11am mass at St. Monica's Church 34 Monica St Rochester, NY 14619
