David S. Wojciechowski

    David S. Wojciechowski, 79, of Dallas, passed away peacefully on December 18, 2023 at the Wilkes-Barre General Hospital, surrounded by his family, after a courageous battle with cancer.  Born in Nanticoke, he was the son of the late Stanley and Esther (Buczkowski) Wojciechowski. He was a graduate of Nanticoke Area High School. After high school he worked at Bonner Chevrolet in Kingston, where he met his future wife of 54 years the former Diane Hodgson. He enlisted in the U S Navy and served from 1963-1966, including a tour of duty in Vietnam. After being discharged he worked at Procter and Gamble in Mehoopany until his retirement. After retiring he owned and operated a fishing charter business, Cruiser Charters Inc. His boat was appropriately named “The Boy’s Toy” and his son DJ was his first mate.

      David was an avid hunter and fisherman. He looked forward to his hunting trips to Wyoming and Michigan and his fishing trips to Black Lake and Lake Ontario. He always enjoyed the reunions with the Navy VP-4 Squadron. He took great pleasure in his children’s and grandchildren’s athletic and musical activities. David loved the beach, especially the time at the condo in Ocean City, MD. He also loved to cook. His clam chowder and haluski were always a hit at family gatherings. He had a special bond with his German Shorthair Pointers Carrera and Hurricane.

     He was a member of Gate of Heaven Church in Dallas as well as VFW Post 283 in Kingston.

David is survived by his wife Diane, sons, David J. (Christy) Forty Fort and Mark, Dallas; Grandchildren, Annabelle, Will, Lola, and Stella; brother Thomas (Michelle), Ohio; Nephew, Thomas and Niece Morgan.
