Dr. John David Wachnicki of North Conway, N.H., passed away at Memorial Hospital on April 22, 2025, at the age of 73, following a four-month valiant battle with cancer.
Dave, or Daddio, as he was known by family, was born on April 5, 1952, the oldest of four siblings. Dave grew up in Greenwich, Conn., where from an early age his talents as a woodworker, artist, car guy and musician began. Dave was a drummer for the Stateliners, a drum corps, and other local bands. The son of a boat builder and an art restorer, Dave taught himself to build the drums he played as a Stateliner.
