David J. Lovelace formerly of Poughkeepsie - David Jay Lovelace, age 67, has passed away peacefully in Palo Alto, CA Sept. 6, 2014. He was born to Janet Marie Lovelace and Gleason F. Lovelace who have predeceased him. He is survived by his sister Judith Lovelace of Poughkeepsie, N.Y; also four grown daughters two in Seattle Jennifer Largent and Erica Lovelace, PhD and two in California Patricia and Emily Lovelace as well as two granddaughters and one grandson of Seattle. He was a graduate of Poughkeepsie High School and after serving in Vietnam War returned to Poughkeepsie. He helped in the family business known as Lovelace Florist. However his life career was with International Business Machines. His career took him all over the world in many aspects working for IBM. He was my soul mate and while we had our differences were closer within the past few weeks. His children were his passion and prayers for them would be appreciated. He was also thrilled to have finally pass on to a grandson the family name. Dave will be missed by many. Plans for his funeral are yet incomplete but will include cremation in California and interment in Veterans Administration within NYS and will be noted once final plans are complete. I know Dave would have wanted any contributions sent to Wounded Warriors. Published in the Poughkeepsie Journal from Sept. 12 to Sept. 14, 2014
