My brother, David Sponsky, (graduated from Gateway in 1971-72) died on Feb. 27. We loved him dearly and will miss him so much. The Masons arrived at the service (held Wednesday evening at the Dobrinick Funeral Home in Trafford, on March 1) and performed a very special ceremony. The following is directly from his obituary...

David A. Sponsky, 53, of Trafford, died Monday Feb. 27 2006 in the Forbes Regional Hospital, Monroeville. Dave was born Aug. 9, 1952 in Wilkinsburg, the son of Anna West Sponsky Tobin and the Robert J. Sponsky. Dave was a self-employed carpet installer in the Pittsburgh area, and a 32nd degree Mason with the Plum Creek Lodge 799. In addition to his mother, Dave is survived by his wife, Cheryl; two sisters, Elaine (and Randy), Karen Rudolf (and John); numerous nieces and nephews, and his good friends. Dave will be sadly missed by his buddy, Askum - his dog. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Make-A-Wish Foundation, 555 Grant St., Suite 425, Pittsburgh, PA 15219.
