Dave Grinpas Obituary
It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Dave Grinpas of Cambridge Springs, Pennsylvania, who passed away on February 9th 2018, leaving to mourn family and friends. Family and friends are welcome to send flowers or leave their condolences on this memorial page and share them with the family. He was loved and cherished by many people including : his late parents, Joe Grinpas, Edna Grinpas; his siblings, Beth, Bob, Lyn; his grandchildren, Jakob, Harley and Angel, as well as his children. Morgan Grinpas of Cambridge Springs, his late son Jude Grinpas of Park City Utah, as well as Ingrid and Tina.
David was as selfless as a man could be, willing to give you the shirt off his back. He was a business man, a musician, an entrepreneur. He lit up the room with his laugh and smile. He was always giving to people, whether it be gas cards for the town people for Christmas, doughnuts to the crossing guard on Monday mornings, or to the nurse of CS High, where she distributed goods from Dave to kids in need. Every February he held an event in Erie, Knock out Homelessness, where his dear friends Jesus Salud or Hawaii, a 3 time world champion boxer, would spar with Loui Bizzaro of Erie, to raise money for the homeless. He was a big fan of Glenlivet whiskey, and classic rock. He was a very respectable man of the Cambridge Springs community, and never fell short of being simply incredible. He was loved dearly, and is missed beyond belief. A vigil is held yearly on his birthday, November 5th, by his youngest daughter, Morgan.
He was most often seen getting the morning paper at the local Kwik Fill, riding his Harley Davidson through town, mowing his beloved yard, or relaxing in the hot tub doing crossword puzzles. His ashes reside with Kathy Gosik, Tina, Ingrid, and Morgan. Morgan leaves a handful at his favorite places- Presque Isle beach in Erie, the Holiday Valley Golf Course in Venango, Niagra Falls, Letchworth State Park, and of course, a handfull off the back of his most prized possession, his Harley.
