Born in Chatham, son of the late Albert Jonathan Eskritt (Marion) and Bernice Lena Eskritt.

Loving spouse to Judith Ann Fraser for 17 wonderful years. Dear Father to Shannon Knight (Jim), Angie Whitesell (Mark), Thomas Fraser, James Fraser (Sandra) and Brittany Fraser (Eric).

Dave was a former employee at Metaldyne (R.J. Simpsons), Murray Clark Farms, Ken McLarty Farms, Motor Wheel and ES Hubbell. Dave enjoyed boating, fishing, camping and playing cards with friends. Everyone that knew Dave knows his love for Nascar and the Toronto Maple Leafs.
