David M. Dulaney
David M. Dulaney, 75, of Waynesburg, died Saturday, May 12, 2018, while in Washington Health System – Greene.
He was born August 26, 1942, in Waynesburg, a son of the late Fred H. and Madge Marie Wright Dulaney.
He made his home with his longtime love and best friend, Mary Ellen Inghram, who survives.
He graduated from Waynesburg High School in 1962. After high school, he served in the U.S. Army.
David worked at Burns Appliance Store in Waynesburg with John and Mike Gardner for many years and had also worked for Baroid in Waynesburg. He went on to work for ABC Industries in Waynesburg. He was transferred to Charleston, W.Va., and three years later was transferred to Warsaw, Ind., until his retirement in 2010.
David loved helping others. He took care of family, friends, neighbors and their pets. He kept an eye on the neighborhood, mowed grass, shoveled snow, brought-in garbage cans, picked-up mail and carried dog treats in his pocket. Some even called him “mayor of the trailer park.” Collecting aluminum cans “kept him out of trouble.”
Surviving are his children, Kenney, Tammy, Toni, Andy, Patrick and Janie; grandchildren Renae, Diana, Torri, Anthony and Cody; and great-grandchildren, Destinie, Derrick and Kayla.
He was affectionately known to his grandchildren and great-grandchildren as “Papoose.”
Also surviving are sister Cindy Dulaney Brewer; brother Fred C. Dulaney; and many beloved nieces and nephews.
Deceased are sister Suzanne Dulaney Gilbert and two brothers, Thomas Dulaney and John Dulaney.
