Chapter Mourns Passing of David Rossnagel
Past Chapter President and Past National Society Chairman Will Be Fondly Remembered
David W. Rossnagel, a distinguished NY/NJ Chapter Member,
Past Chapter President and Past National Society Chairman,
passed away on Monday, November 26, 2012 at St. Barnabas
Medical center in Livingston at the young age of 57. Dave is
survived by his wife Carolyn, son Paul, daughter Paige and
brothers Mark and Matthew. Dave was born in Lampasas, Texas.
He grew up in Irvington and moved to Parsippany 27 years
ago. He received his Bachelor of Science in Management from
Kean University in Union.
Dave spent his entire career in the banking industry. He
most recently served as Senior Vice President of Internal
Audit for Investors Bank in Short Hills. Dave was employed
by Investors for 39 years primarily performing services in
internal audit and security.
Dave personally provided decades of support to the FMS NY/NJ
Chapter and the FMS National Society as a Member and
Officer. Dave held each Officer position in the NY/NJ
Chapter and served as Chapter President in 2002. He later
served as Chairman of the FMS National Society during
2007-2008.
The Chapter Officers both past and present will fondly
remember the contributions Dave made to enhance the Chapter,
not just through his actions as a Member, but through his
positive character and strong integrity. Current Chapter
President James Montagne perhaps best remembered Dave’s
contributions and accomplishments: “Dave has been a staunch
supporter of our Chapter for years and I speak for many in
saying that his presence will be greatly missed.”
Dave was best known for giving his time and effort to
improve the lives of all of those he touched both within the
industry and in his personal life. He performed extensive
works of charity for his church and to help the less
fortunate through organizations such as Habitat for
Humanity.
In accordance with Chapter tradition, The NY/NJ Chapter
precedes each meeting with a prayer of invocation. The
Chapter Officers frequently called upon Dave to perform this
important Chapter service. The Chapter was proud to have
Dave perform the invocation at the Chapter’s most recent
Annual Installation Dinner on June 8, 2012. The Chapter’s
photographer was also proud to capture the moment. The photo
is included above along with several other events in which
Dave performed the invocation.
The Chapter Officers would like you to relive some of the
moments that Dave Rossnagel enjoyed as a Member of the NY/NJ
Chapter by reviewing the included photos as captured by the
Chapter photographer over the past 10 years.
