Son of the late Walter and Ethel Hancock. Dear husband of the late Elaine J. Hancock.

God and family were Dave's first loves, followed closely by a love for a multitude of friends and a passion for educating children. He was an educator and principal in the Chicago Heights, IL school district for over 40 years and served his country in WWII as a Staff Sergeant in Patton's 3rd Army, receiving two bronze stars. He always had a positive and encouraging attitude that affected all who met him. He will forever have a special place in so many hearts, dearly remembered and deeply missed.
