Erin’s Eulogy
I remember meeting Dad for the first time in front of Marie and Dave’s house, I had been dating Jesse for maybe 2 weeks. I knew we were going to get married and have beautiful children. Jesse wasn’t on board just yet. Dad instantly accepted me and called me “pain in the ass”. He accepted everyone based on the type of person they were regardless of where they came from because to him the type of person you were and how you treated those he loved was all that mattered. I know how lucky Jenn and Jesse were to have Dave as a father because he showed them what a “Good Man” looks like and acts like. I was able to see the care he showed towards their education, the activities they enjoyed, and the things they had an interest in, and that love and caring were extended to me without question. I saw in person the love he had for Marie, when we would go to the grocery store he would say “I have to pick up this for Marie”, after giving birth to Zachary he paid for my flight up to Jersey as a surprise for Marie because she had been missing him. He even went on the London Eye because Zachary wanted to show him how high it went, and it didn’t matter that both Jesse and Dad are terrified of heights.
When I think about Dad, I think of a fun-loving, larger-than-life personality with an unmistakable laugh that rose up from his belly. There has not been a time when we were all together where he didn’t ask “What game are we playing”…as well as what are we eating for dessert…even if it was breakfast time. He was a teacher, whether that meant showing anyone who would listen about gardening or canning, especially picking berries, to taking late-night phone calls from his grandkids on how to do algebra problems when we couldn’t get Uncle Danny’s help. That was the type of man he was. That type of caring nature won’t end with him. I see it in the way Jesse is as a husband and a father. I see those same attributes in Zachary, Cole, and Lucas. They learned those important lessons from Dad and one day they will tell their children about their PopPop and teach them the same lessons they learned from him.

He was a great great-uncle to me. I will always remember the fun times that me and my great-uncle Dave had. Like when I helped him with the colored dice in toss up (because he was color blind), when me and him talked about Peter Pan and he told me he lost his change in Disney World. He also told me some advice for rides in Epcot; he told me to plug my nose in a certain country (but I don't remember which one). The next time I go to Disney I will keep looking for your change Uncle Dave. I love you Uncle Dave.
Love Benjamin

I always loved my cousin Dave. He was a big deal in my eyes. He was maybe four years older than me but as a kid that was a lot. He used to take care of Miss Wilday’s chickens…the lady who lived on the hill across from his house. It was an admirable job for a school aged boy. Not many would have taken on every aspect of caring for those chickens. The feeding was one thing. The beheading and plucking was another. Old Miss Wilday counted on Dave . I believe he learned a lot from her over the years. I know he used to pick elderberries and make them into wine. Not sure if that was her influence or not.
There was a time when Dave was a teenager that he got interested in politics. He could debate and converse about improving things for the people of Paterson. He was honorable and seemed to know what to do and how to do it. Surely he could easily sway anyone who listened to his way of thinking. I was sure he would be a Senator or a Congressman one day. You just couldn’t help but admire him. He was impressive.
After high school he went to Meyer Brothers and worked his way up the ladder. In time Aunt Flora got a job there too. Mom and I loved to shop at Meyer Brothers and to visit Aunt Flora and Marie’s Mom. We were always so impressed when over the intercom we would hear Dave’s name being called. “ Mr. Kidd “please come to such and such department. “Mr Kidd”, “Mr Kidd” . Three or four times in a visit we would hear the announcement over the loudspeaker and knew that he had a great deal of responsibility. We were all so proud of him.
But one incident over 50 years ago stands out in my memory. When he was a senior at Saint Bonaventure High School Dave toyed with the idea of becoming a priest. He would have made a good one. I remember one time passing the open door to his bedroom and seeing his blackboard with something written on it. I stopped and read it and have never forgotten it. It was deep and meaningful and it made an impression on me. It stated simply:
“If I believe in God and there is no God
I’ve wasted a lifetime.
But if I don’t believe in God and there is a God
I’ve wasted an eternity .”
Little did I know that one day I would be sharing this at Dave’s funeral. The years go by so quickly. It’s hard to say goodbye. Rest in Peace Dave and enjoy eternity. ❤️

Eulogy from Jenn
When we think of Daddy we think of family. He had a deep and abiding love for his family, the phrase “family man” immediately comes to mind when we think about Daddy. Although he worked two jobs while we were growing up, he ensured he was at every dance recital and baseball game, and made sure that there was always a family vacation to be had at the cape, where we hunted treasure on the beach or took drives to get lost on purpose. He took the time to get to know what Jesse and my interests were and talk to us about them. When our children came along he always dedicated time to each one. He showed interest in what they liked and learned to play the games they knew…even if he didn’t understand the technology behind it. He has always been our biggest cheerleader. Always telling us we can do anything and be anything we want and has constantly helped us along the way to achieve those goals.
I have so many fond memories of my father almost all of them filled with smiles and laughter. He was always looking to have fun and make those around him laugh. I can’t count the number of times my Dad scared the bejesus out of me by hiding behind doors or corners and then he would pop out at the last moment. He would look at me and wink, just before doing something he knew would annoy my mother and I could only stand there and shake my head while laughing and say “oh Daddy”. We would get together and discuss the perfect present he could get my Mom for Christmas. I was lucky enough to celebrate our birthdays together every year. Some years we would go down to AC to gamble and we always went to Denny’s first, then Harrah’s to play some penny slots. Since my dad always had comps we would go to the buffet and head immediately to the king crab legs, put our bibs on, and enjoy the deliciousness. Most importantly, we would laugh the entire time we were together.
In my eyes, my Dad’s greatest accomplishment is his family. The love he had for his family and the lengths he would go through to provide for us showed the magnitude of his character. He was a man who could always be counted on for anything, you could call him at any time and he would always be willing to help. I will always be grateful for the foundation of strength he provided me, he taught me how to be a strong woman and a good person.

When we think of our cousin, David, we think of him as a Gentle Giant just like our Dad, Charles Scholer. He was kind, wonderful with children and had a great sense of humor. Then we think of all the Scholer patriarchs and matriarchs that will be welcoming Dave home with their loving open arms. Dave’s mom, Our Aunt Flora was a woman of faith and unconditional love that was worth any amount of money one could have today! She surely will be there to Greet Dave at the heavenly gates! She passed on the day our granddaughter, Olivia, was born a little premature. We always felt her spirit was protecting her.
Aunt El and Aunt Flora were examples to all of us for their never ending Faith in Our Lord! And we learned from them as they navigated their lives through faith. Surely David was their protege’! A man of Faith, Hope and LOVE through all his good works he has done here on earth. They were were peas in a pod and maybe Dave got his love for Atlantic City from them. And we not forget Uncle Harold who always showed up with trunk loads of fruits & vegetables! We guess Dave was ingenious for teaching himself how to can and preserve them. Gosh, we sure as HECK didn’t know what to do with all of it!!! So the legacy of the Scholer’s lived thru David and May we continue that legacy by how David lived his life. In deepest sympathy, Rich & Ginger Scholer

Thanks for allowing me to fall asleep on your chest when I was inconsolable and colicky! Only you and my Nana could do that!

When my sister Marie announced her engagement to Dave Kidd, my hope was for them to have a forever lasting love that would bring them a safe, comfortable home and a long loving life filled with the joy of children.
Marie and Dave enjoyed 47 years together and it was easy to see that they shared the same love for each other. Their mutual goals and respect for each other was evident throughout their marriage. Their children Jesse and Jennifer carry on with the same qualities. Jesse and Erin have created a life of love and family with their two sons Zachary and Lucas; Jen and her son Cole also have a loving family.
I remember our family gatherings, enjoying our time together and marking the holidays with laughter and love for the entire family. They are cherished memories.
Dave, my Brother-in-law will be remembered by me for his laughter, good times and great conversations. He will forever be in my heart and truly missed. Dave Kidd was a great guy.

My uncle was my living memory of the past. Having been my father’s best friend since their teenage years, he could tell me stories of both the Payne and Kidd sides of my family, the day my Aunt Deanna was born and he was at the bar with my grandfather, when Little Eileen lived across the street and how my grandmother would hide a bottle of wine in the basement so she could take some swigs while shoveling the coal. I would sit and listen for hours about the shenanigans on “the hill” and want so badly to be able to go back in time and spend a day at Mrs. Wilde’s house to feed the chickens. Now I wish I just had one more story, one more belly laugh, one more “that SOB”, one more glance over the top rim of his glasses, one more “you know how this would be good?” and one more “punkin” pie.
My uncle was my cheerleader. When the rest of the world thought I was nuts for wanting to be a pastry chef, he understood.
My uncle was a warrior.

Daddy there are so many happy memories together. You raised me to be as tough as the boys but still a lady. You always encouraged me to be who I am. We had so many great conversations and the stories you could tell were endless. I’ll remember your laughter the most and how you loved to scare me and my friends at every opportunity you had. Christmas parties, Thanksgivings up at Aunt Deb and Uncle Dan’s, 4th of July parties while we played w sparklers and then sit and watch the mayhem of people trying to leave the street. Our vacations up at the Cape where we would go for walks on the beach to find pirate ships or buried treasure, mini golf, getting lost at night driving just for fun. Always celebrating our birthdays together and our trips to AC. Most of all your love for Mommy, Jesse, myself, Erin and of course all the boys. You will never be forgotten and will always be with me. I love you forever and always Daddy.

Your laugh was infectious and you made everyone around you smile. You were a wonderful brother, uncle and friend. Words cannot express how much we will miss you. Rest in peace. Until we meet again.

Dave had the best laugh and such enthusiasm for life. He loved a good secret and couldn't wait to tell me. He loved to cook a big meal and share it with everyone. Trying to recreate a recipe from our childhood was always interesting! He was an avid lottery ticket buyer and a lucky winner more than anyone else I knew. Atlantic City was a favorite day trip and when we would go on cruises he would sneak off to play the slots. He loved to play board games, cards and dice with his grandchildren. I will always remember how he would look over the rim of his glasses when he was annoyed but I knew he could never be too serious for too long. Thanksgiving will never be the same without him. He loved to sneak into the kitchen while the turkey was cooling and pick some of the crispy stuffing from the turkey! Thank you Dave for all the memories, they will never fade! Love you forever brother dear, Deb

My brother from another mother for sure! We had so many adventures and experiences together. Never had a bad word between us. Not ever! Not once in almost 60 years. Friends from early teenage years. Played all the sports together. Helped each other in high school studies. Double dating fun. Crabbing, fishing, vacationing together. Spur of the moment trips to seaside for Marucas pizza or a Nevers steak sandwich at 10:00 at night. Cruising the scene in his Dodge station wagon and later Opel and Corvair. Nightly trips to Goodies for hamburgers, fries and a shake. David was a gentle soul who loved a good spooky story, loved food, loved cooking, loved gardening, loved his children, grandchildren, wife and family. Should have been a farmer as he loved all aspects of growing plants and animal raising. We are already missing him immensely. We all loved Dave. We have so many fond memories of him and so many stories to tell. As we try to deal with his passing I'm reminded of him practically everywhere I look. I look at the garden and think about all the plants he gave me every year. How he could not wait to start the seeds every year for next seasons planting. I pass by the milk pumpkins he grew to make the pumpkin pie for thanksgiving and think of him and how he loved Thanksgiving soooo much. Enjoying all the different dishes that only came at Thanksgiving. We both enjoyed the turnips so much. I open the refrigerator and see the jars of jam he made and think how he just told me how he strained all of the pits out of the black raspberry jam this year but had to put a little back in because he liked to have some pits in there.. I open the pantry and see all the jars of pickles he made and think of his stories about making pickles with Ms Wilday in his younger days. Uncle Dave was loved by so many people. He touched many lives with his generosity and his fun loving personality for sure. God speed my friend.
