We were so saddened to hear of Dave's death. We so much enjoyed working with him during the construction of our parish center at Old St. Mary's Church in the South Loop neighborhood of Chicago. God bless Dave, his family, friends, and all the Mazur family.

Dave was a Superintendent for Mazur and Son Construction and I worked as Head Forman for a subcontractor from Oquendo Construction. 90% of the jobs we did fo them were run by Dave. Always knew the job would go good with him there. As I retired 12 years ago an our last few jobs were run by another super I haven't seen him for probably 15 years. Friendly, funny and the biggest guy on the jobsite.
My very best to the family, I will miss him.
