Biography
MILLER DAVID A.
On January 16, 2012, of Voorhees, NJ. Devoted husband of Karen (nee Stewart). Beloved son of Gloria DeStefano. Beloved brother of James and Vincent DeStefano. Beloved Uncle of Jimmy DeStefano, Beloved stepfather of Robert Pratley (Sharon) and Keith Pratley (Sara). Beloved ''Poppy Dave'' of Jason, Oliver and Nolan Pratley. Army Veteran and long time Septa employee, eclectic gentleman and avid gardener. Dave constantly surprised his family and friends with the scope of his knowledge and interests. Retired, he could be found doing his duties as the sacristan at the church, cooking breakfast for church groups, wisely investing, or tending his beautifully landscaped yard. We had to use caution asking questions of David, making sure to schedule enough time for his thoughtful and heartfelt responses. Dave loved his wine, his dogs, his new Miata and fine dining. All friends and family will sorely miss his quirky nature and the content of his character. Family and friends are invited to Dave's Memorial Mass Wednesday, January 18, 10 A.M. at St. Andrew The Apostle Church, 27 Kresson-Gibbsboro Rd., Gibbsboro, NJ.Please, no flowers. Donations in Dave's memory to St. Andrew The Apostle Church at the above address or Holy Redeemer Hospice, 12265 Townsend Rd., Phila., PA 19154 would be appreciated.

Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free. I'm following the path God laid for me, I took his hand when I heard him call I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day to laugh, to love, to work or play. Tasks left undone must stay that way. I found that place at the close of day. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief. Don't lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your heart and share with me. God wanted me now, he set me free.
