As a devoted husband, dad and grandpa, Dave spent his life enjoying family events, fishing, playing cards, conducting his annual Easter egg hunt, leading the “Hokie Pokie” at wedding receptions, and attending his children and grandchildren’s sporting events, where he was always quick with a helpful tip for a coach, umpire or referee. Dave also enjoyed traveling with Judy, family and friends, with fall trips to Maine, fishing trips to Wisconsin, lucky getaways to Las Vegas, and his many cruises being some of his favorites.

Surviving are his children, Debbie (Don) Applegate, Bonnie Larosa, Jeff (Angie), Mike (Lynette), and Phil (Lori) Curtis; 16 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren.

In 1972, she requested and received release from her religious vows. After leaving the monastery, she was employed as a social worker at Mary Rigg Neighborhood Center in West Indianapolis. Rose once said that her work at the neighborhood center was one of the most satisfying times of her life and that it gave her a great appreciation for the blessings she had received in her own life. In 1980, she returned to teaching and spent the next decade at St. Jude School in Indianapolis. She retired in 1990 at the age of 70. In retirement, Rose served for several years as a substitute teacher and gave private tutoring lessons. Prior to, and following, retirement, she was a very active volunteer at her parish of St. Barnabas, where she was involved in the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults and served as a catechist in the parish's grade school religious education program. Preceding her in death were her parents and her 10 siblings: Timothy, Vincent, Albert, Marie (Benedictine Sister Bernice of Monastery Immaculate Conception), Harry, Bernard, Louis, Frank, Catherine, and Josephine ( Benedictine Sister Mary Charlotte, also of Monastery Immaculate Conception).
