David Creelman
March 8, 1937 – October 10, 2024
With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of David Creelman, who left this world peacefully on October 10, 2024, at 87.
Born on March 8,1937,
David was a devoted husband, loving brother, cherished uncle, and a steadfast friend to all who knew him.
David shared 41 wonderful years of marriage with his beloved wife, MaryJane (Eakleston) Creelman.
Together, they built a life filled with love, laughter, and countless cherished memories.
As the proud owner of Peg’s Luncheonette for 38 years, David welcomed everyone with his warm smile and kind heart.
Peg’s wasn’t just a place to eat—it was a community hub where friends gathered, stories were told, and bonds were strengthened.
David is survived by his two devoted sisters, Gwen (Creelman) Coppola and Diane (Creelman) Reilly, along with numerous nieces and nephews who loved and admired him deeply.
To his nieces and nephews, David wasn’t just an uncle; he was a guiding light, offering unyielding support and unconditional love.
A proud veteran of the United States Army, David’s sense of duty and loyalty extended far beyond his years of service. He was a committed member of the NRA and the Free Masons, and he had a lifelong passion for automobiles. His love for cars was legendary, and he found immense joy in auto clubs, car shows, and time spent on the open road with fellow enthusiasts.
David will be remembered for his kindness, his loyalty, and his hearty sense of humor. His presence brought joy to every room, and his generosity left a lasting impact on everyone he met. David's legacy of love, laughter, and friendship will forever be cherished by all fortunate enough to know him.
Rest in peace, David. While your earthly journey has ended, your spirit will live on in the hearts of your loved ones, the roar of engines, and the countless memories you've left behind.
