March 29, 2018

David, was born on June 28th, 1957, to the late Phyllis M. (Read) and Edmund S. Januskiewiecz. He was raised in Shirley, attending Lura A. White School and later graduating from Notre Dame High School in Fitchburg. David was an avid sports fan who enjoyed playing sports growing up, playing and watching golf, the Patriots, Bruins, and traveling to watch his beloved Red Sox. He enjoyed the local youth sports programs and could often be seen at a Shirley Youth Baseball game or at the local soccer fields. David was very proud to have celebrated opening day with Shirley Youth Baseball, by being chosen to throw out the first pitch. Anyone who knew David, knew he was a storyteller. He always had something to say, and loved to talk sports. He was especially proud when he could tell a story about his travels, his family, or his extended friend network. If he stopped you on one of his walks you knew you’d be greeted with conversation and his phone calls were often an 80-20 relationship, you had to be sure you had the time to listen! He leaves behind his loving sister Susan, and her husband Kevin and their children Megan and PJ, Andrea, Kelsey and Sam and grandchildren Abigail and James. He especially loved spending holidays and Sundays with their family, playing games, traveling, and always laughing. He also leaves behind his siblings and their spouses: John and his wife Diane, Paul, Mary and her husband Peter, and Peter; his Aunt Ann, and many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends. David was also blessed to have found a second family in the Quinty Family, and cherished his times with them at games and school functions.
