The family of David Jarmolowicz

My name is Rachael Balistreri, and I, like you, have had the distinct honor of being friends with Dave Jarmolowicz. If you're like me, you now find yourself at a complete loss with the news of his tragic and unexpected passing.

I have no words to describe the loss that each of our communities will feel. As one friend puts it "He had an easy way about him. You could count on Dave to be calm, friendly, supportive, creative, and endlessly and contagiously excited" about EVERYTHING in his life. BA, martial arts, family, friends...Dave gave us his true, authentic self every time you saw him. Our lives are so much richer for having known Dave. We are blessed to have had him wrap us in a bear hug. He was truly the best human being I have ever known. Indeed.

While their need may not be great, I have started this fundraiser for Allison, Eveyln, and Vivian to assist with any expenses they find themselves incurring in the next few months. Dave's passing comes as a shock to us all, and I cannot begin to fathom what they are going through. Dave touched the lives of everyone who met him, and now we are spread far and wide. I hope that through this fundraiser, we can show our love and support to Allison and the girls even though we cannot be right with her.

Thank you for your support, and my love goes out to you. From coast to coast, let's show our love and support to David's family. We love you so much.
