David P. Prosser 1938-2021

He is survived by wife, Molly; son, Dave (Martha); daughter, Kathy (Kevin); and grandchildren, Nathan, Emily, Jacob (Leigh) and Michael (Caeli).

Dave was born Dec. 12, 1938, in Youngstown, to Thomas P. and Kitty Prosser, where he attended Youngstown State University and was a member of the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity. He and Molly were married May 28, 1960.

Dave worked in data processing at Youngstown Sheet and Tube until its closure in 1977, then held numerous positions in the area until retirement.

Always one to live an active life, Dave was a longtime Cub Scout and Scouts BSA leader. He was extremely active in both the Youngstown and Salem theater communities, performing in dozens of local productions. He also served as a trustee and deacon at Christ Church United Presbyterian.

Upon retirement, Dave and Molly left Ohio’s winter weather behind and moved to Venice in 2003, where they maintained their longtime close friendship with Ian and Hannah McNabb, also from Ohio, and made many new dear friends along the way.

Never content to stand idle in retirement, Dave was active in the Woodcarver’s Club, the Ohio Club and directed many community productions of the Bay Indies Players. He also served as president of the Bay Indies Chorus and was active in the Bay Indies Covenant Church.
