An appreciation Dave Trostel brought joy to Harveys Lake The people of Harveys Lake, Warden Place in particular, lost a very special friend with the recent death of summer resident, Dave Trostel. When Dave and his wife Naomi, packed their car and said their goodbyes to head back to New Jersey last Labor Day, none of us, including Dave himself, had any idea that it would be our last goo- dbye. He would learn later that fall that he had a very deadly form of cancer and would not live to spend another summer at Harveys Lake, a place he loved. I had heard that he wanted to see the lake just one more time before he passed on, but I don’tbelieve he was able to make the trip. Dave was a soft-spoken man, and a man that truly cared about other people. He seemed to espe- cially like children. If the weather was nice, he spent hours down at the Warden Place Beach. He'd make his rounds and talk to everyone. If a person was troubled, he'd spend extra time with that person, lend- ing a caring ear and a shoulder upon which to lean. He had a warm sense of humor and had the ability to bring a smile or a chuckle out of anyone, despite their mood. He also did a lot of walking and would visit from cottage to cottage to chat with the neighbors. A fa- vorite spot became Drury’s Deli, where he'd stop for breakfast and the paper. There, he'd get to see and speak with people from all over the lake. Dave was also a family man who enjoyed playing host to his chil- dren and grandchildren when they visited the lake. He could be seen Rumble (continued from page 1) of noise level. “No one realized they would be as noisy as they are,” said Lutsey. “Nor did we realize that the strips would be so far up Route 309. When we spoke to Bonocci, he said the noise was so loud because of speeding. The problem is being corrected. “As they were originally, the noise was waking persons at night and also rattling dishes in the homes of people along the township area of Route 309. Dallas Township super- visor Frank Wagner is taking care of the strips on the highway in the township. They will be filled in and should make no more noise,” Lutsey said. Meanwhile, the strips and their accompanying noise are the topic of conversation in area coffee shops and pizza parlors.

A few miles up the highway Roxanne Opalicki, owner of Heart of Fashions, in business for the past four years is also giving up her business, although, if possible she hopes to sell it. “I love meeting the people and I enjoy the shop, but I have two girls in high school and a son in college. The business is too confining. I'm notable to get to any of theirevents so I decided it was time to get out and spend more time with the family. “We want to take a trip to Eu- rope this summer to visit relatives of my husband and if I kept the shop it would be impossible to go. Sometime in the future when the girls are through school, I will probably go back into a business of some kind,” Roxanne said. taking the kids to the beach for the day, or on a little fishing expedi- tion, or sight-seeing tour. The fondness was mutual, and could be witnessed by the number of visits the children and grandchil- dren made to the lake. Prior to his retirement, Dave was managing and sports editor for Today's Sunbeam in Salem, New Jersey. He occassionally did some guest writing for The Dallas Post when he was here. His writ- ings were light and refreshing, and his love for this area shined through his stories. We'll truly miss Dave Trostel, and most people I've talked to say they can’timagine a summer with- out him. It will be as if some of the sunshine itself has left us.
