DAVE KREWSON
Nov. 21, 2016
"The world lost a super hero today," his brother said Monday, Nov. 21, 2016 when David Lincoln Krewson died at his home in Clarks Summit. His family and friends said Dave was "One of kindest people I ever met," "Positive," "Courageous."
Dave is most remembered for his wonderful stories and corny jokes. "I live to make people smile," he summed up his life's mission a few days before he died.
Born May 2, 1952 in Meshoppen, he was the oldest of four children born to Patricia Krewson and the late Lyman Krewson. His grandparents were Cecil and Lucinda Krewson and Joseph and Amelia Lincoln of Tunkhannock.
Growing up on Putnam Street in Tunkhannock, he played drums in bands that practiced in the basement and made the house shake, and with his brother Gery built their first kayaks from kits. The brothers and their friends rode a pickup truck to Woodstock, an experience that would forever mark their lives, and they went back to Woodstock reunions together.
On the opposite side of Courthouse Square in Tunkhannock lived Debra Allen. They married and the high school sweethearts celebrated 45 years of marriage on Nov. 13, recalling the incredible life they shared.
They were blessed with two daughters, Kati and her husband Adam Bialek of Arizona and Nicole Krewson and boyfriend Blake Kelly of Montrose. Clarks Summit was their home for 40 years.
He was a champion of local businesses, a great neighbor and a volunteer EMT with the Clarks Summit Ambulance. He remodeled their house and their camera shops and could fix most anything.
Dave built his girls a treehouse – not an ordinary one, but Tudor style with a drawbridge. He passed along his positive attitude about life, treating Kati to breakfast when they got up early but it was too cloudy to spot Haley's Comet and sharing hiking, paddling and cross country skiing adventures with Nicole.
"I like being a dad but I was born to be a grandpa," Dave would say. He adored and guided their granddaughter, Faith Purdy, daughter of Nicole Krewson and a student at University of Maine. She also became a skilled painter after spending a summer painting the house with her grandpa.
Dave had a passion and talent for photography and was a photographer and accomplished darkroom technician at the Tunkhannock New Age, the newspaper his family published for 90 years. He worked for a year with Bill Barnhart at Barnhart Studios in Tunkhannock before he and Debbie bought Abington Photo, which they operated in Clarks Summit for 30 years until 2004.
He then learned all he could about insurance and became an independent senior benefits broker. For the past 10 years he took great pride in helping people find the best insurance at the best price, adding a few jokes in the process.
Dave had so many facets to his life, taking white water kayak trips with his friends to Canada, playing in the local drum circle, organizing 'bored' meetings of Facebook friends and skiing with his family.
His family was everything to him and he and Debbie counted their friends in the hundreds.
Also surviving are his sister and brother-in-law Mary and John Perez; his brother and sister-in-law Cecil Kiethline Krewson III and Cathy; and many more relatives.
Funeral services will be private. He was very spiritual and was of the Baha'i faith. While undergoing cancer treatments near Chicago he and Debbie were able to visit the Baha'i temple.
A celebration of his life for family and friends will be held Dec. 30 from 5 to 7 p.m., at the Clarks Summit Fire Hall at 321 Bedford St.
Dave had so hoped to beat cancer and become a youth mentor.
Those who want to remember him are asked to give a donation or their time to a program such as Big Brothers, Big Sisters or Boys and Girls Club.
Arrangements have been entrusted to the care of the Lawrence E. Young Funeral Home, 418 S. State St., Clarks Summit. To share a memory or leave an online condolence for the family, visit the funeral home website.
