I was blessed to have Dave as a teacher in middle school, and a friend in adult life. So many stories, but the one thing that I will always remember was his smile. I will miss you.
Mr. Fluri was an incredible teacher and he will not be forgotten. As one of his students from the early 1980's at Richboro Intermediate, I have wonderful memories from Mr. Fluri's class. He really cared about and inspired his students. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. What a tragic loss...
1987 graduate of Council Rock High School
I am so heart sick to learn of the tragic
death of such a wonderful man and teacher.
Mr. Fluri was my favorite teacher and he
Was an inspiration to all of us. He took us to
Hawk Mountain and we had the most incredible
Day there. He had the most endearing smile and
He was smart and full of life ...My deepest condolences to both
Families ... RIP
I had the pleasure and privilege to live next to Dave and Linda. We moved away a few years ago but they still kept in touch with our family. They were awesome neighbors; always there to lend a hand or give a warm hello as you passed by them. They both clearly had a strong bond as a couple and this is doubly hard for everyone whose life they touched. They truly found the joy in life. Peace and prayers for the Fluri and Winkler families.
So sad. Mr. Fluri was GREAT teacher. He really enjoyed teaching, and he always went the extra mile for his students. He always tried to encourage and inspire his students.
Prayers and thoughts are with the family.
may god be with you and your family.
Your love of life, family and students will always be remembered. Peace be with you and your family.
I am so sad to hear about Mr. Fluri's passing. He is one of the teachers that I will always remember from junior high. There were so many things "we don't appreciate as kids as much as we do as adults" as Jen Donaldson Mueller said below. Mr. Fluri had high expectations for his students and the humor to pull them off. I also had the honor to know Mr. Fluri's brother and nephew through tutoring. My heart goes out to all of their family during this difficult time.
David,
You were a great friend, you will be missed
RIP PAL..........
David Fluri was an outstanding teacher and I have so many fond memories of his classes. I remember playing Star Trek trivia with him, the day he brought his hawk to school, and the challenges he gave us in class to make us better and not just coast along. He went above and beyond as a teacher, which we don't appreciate as kids as much as we do as adults. I send his family my heartfelt condolences. He made a great difference in my life and I will never forget him.
I graduated from Council Rock in 1996 and have many fond memories of Mr Fluri. He was an amazing teacher and an encouraging and supportive track coach. If all teachers left the impact on students that he did the world would certainly be a better place
My husband & I got to know Dave through my friendship with Linda. He was a good friend and we will miss him very much. Taken way too soon.
I am simply heartbroken to hear of this. Mr. Fluri was my favorite teacher, from my entire educational career. Your family are in my thoughts.
RIP Dave
