David A. Hesson, 48 of Wayne, died on Thursday, December 22, 2016 with his loving family and friends at his bedside. Dave had fought valiantly with Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, and related complications, since 2003.
David grew up in Connellsville, Pennsylvania and graduated Geibel Catholic High School with the class of 1986. He proceeded to join the U.S. Air Force and served for six years in Tokyo. He loved it there very much, learned to speak Japanese, and continued to live in Tokyo for four more years while working for Deutsche Bank. He eventually moved to their New York City location and lived in Forest Hills, Queens for a few years. Dave was a wiz with computers and IT was his forte. He eventually started his own company; Valley IT Solutions in Wayne and offered various computer services and video surveillance installations. Dave installed all the video cameras at the Totowa Boro Hall and Our Lady of the Valley Church, among many other area installations. He was very good at what he did and proud of his work.
Dave was also a staunch Republican and wasn’t necessarily concerned about being ‘politically correct’ around anyone; he told it like it was. Being successful was important to him as well, and one of his favorite quips was “it’s all about winning.” He was proud to be a member of the NRA, a die-hard Pittsburgh Steelers fan, Penguins fan, NY Yankees fan, and he loved F1 racing, hunting and shooting sports. He even coached Little League baseball in Totowa for a number of years, despite not having any children of his own. Dave was a Mason belonging to the Boiling Springs Lodge 152 in Rutherford, NJ and an Associate Member of the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 46 in Rochelle Park, NJ. He was also a parishioner at Our Lady of the Valley Roman Catholic Church in Wayne for many years.
Dave met his wife Rosemary Rascionato when he was living in Queens. They exchanged phone numbers and Dave called Rosemary the next day. They ended up speaking for more than four hours that first call! Dave proposed on Christmas Eve in 2006 and they were married on May 11, 2008 followed by a fabulous honeymoon in Hawaii. They settled to Wayne and have enjoyed the last eight years together. Their marriage was full of fun and laughs, smiles and good memories. Rosemary will certainly miss him dearly, and so will their beloved dog; Stevie.
Dave is survived by his wife Rosemary Rascionato of Wayne, by his two brothers; Daryl and his wife Patricia of Palm Harbor, FL and Gary and his wife Teresa of Lewistown, PA, by his in-law parents; Emilia and Rinaldo Rascionato of Totowa, by his sister-in-law; Daniella Rascionato of Riverdale, by his brother-in-law; Emilio Rascionato and his wife Lana of Totowa, by his niece; Nicole Rascionato and nephew; Matthew Rascionato of Totowa, and by his loving dog Stevie. Dave was predeceased by his mother; Concetta Sgro in 2012 and by his father; Karl Hesson in 2001.
In lieu of flowers, donations in Dave’s memory would be appreciated to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Memorial Processing, 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis, TN 38105-9959. www.stjude.org
