I had just returned to Sidney from my year as an exchange student to Brazil in 1973 and dreaded having to take Regents Chemistry. Dave Pysnik made what I thought was going to be a torturous year into an exciting year of learning and exploring. He inspired the good in everyone. He will be missed by the Sidney community at large and by generations of Sidney Alumni. My condolences to his family and friends.

Greg Davie posted a condolence
Does anyone catch the irony of a simple and concise obituary written for a person who has done so much for so many over such a long time? As Dave always said - "you've gotta read between the lines!" And in between these lines is so much compassion, intensity, encouragement, devotion, humility, and genuine love for his students no matter what the era. So proud to know my son Kevin follows many Sidney grads into Ithaca and in particular the Physical Therapy program. Inspiration will go on for him even though Dave can not physically talk with Kevin. I look forward to reading the memories to be shared on this site. We all miss you and thank you David Pysnik. You truly were One of a Kind.

Dear Gaby and Family,
I am so sorry to hear of David's sudden passing. Although I did not know him well, the short times that we did spend together made me feel like I had know him for years. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you at this very difficult time.

Dave and I arrived in Sidney the same year. From that time, he has been an enthusiastic colleague and valued teacher. His energetic willingness to take on a new project will be missed. He co-mentored Sara in a senior year independent writing project. He taught Sabina in an adult education class. I offer my sympathy to each member of his extended family for their too soon loss.

Mr.Pysnik and his family live up the street from my parents. He and his family, were so kind to his neighbors. My parents, as well as their other neighbors, were always included in family celebrations. Since I had Mr. P. for chemistry, he hadn't changed a bit. His friendly personality, willingness to help anyone at anytime, and gift to make all of those around him smile (as well as laugh uncontrollably), will be missed. My prayers go out to Gaby and her family.

Words cannot express the sadness that we all feel at the loss of such a special man. Our Class of '77 was greatly influenced by the energy, enthusiasm, and love of chemistry and teaching that Mr Pysnik exuded on a daily basis (I am still unable to say "Dave" - he thought that was incredibly funny!) Several of us went on to careers that involved Chemistry and/or Engineering and I am convinced that our love of Chemistry class had a profound influence on our choices. Mr Pysnik focused on the whole person however, not just the academic portion...he pushed us to the limit and encouraged us when we needed it. He set the example for us to follow. It's hard to imagine the heartbreak his family must be feeling...I hope that your memories of that unforgettable laugh and the many precious moments you shared will comfort you now and for the tough days ahead. God Bless you all...

I am numb over the loss of the best teacher I ever had. I still remember how he arranged a summer technical program for a couple of us to attend at RIT and he even drove all the way to Rochester just to make sure that we were doing OK in the program.
For an independent study project, I decided to make solar cells... and he quickly and miraculously scrounged up the materials, including silicon a high-temperature firing oven for me. I learned that he later became a master at finding donations for the school to use.
He inspired me to study Chemical Engineering in college, and I still remember some fellow college students being astounded when I told them some of the things we had learned and practiced in high school chemistry. They couldn't believe that we had so much experience from a public school.
Hundreds of students will mourn the loss of this great educator.

I speak on behalf of the Great American in Sidney where Dave was a regular shopper and we will miss seeing him in the store and chatting with him. I especially will miss and fondly remember his time spent at the store this past Christmas season as a volunteer for the Salvation Army where he was found greeting our shoppers with Christmas music and a merry greeting. It gave our store a wonderfully warm Christmas feeling.

I had Mr. Pysnik when he was a brand-new teacher back in 1974. He was one of the most inspiring and enthusiastic teachers I ever had - always encouraging me to reach out, explore and do my best work. Fine teachers who are as dedicated to their students as he was are absolutely the key to a fine education. He will be sorely missed.

Bob and Joan Finnegan posted a condolence
We were extremely saddened to hear of David's passing. A former TEACHER OF THE YEARS, and one of the first to receive such an accolade from his peers, David obviously touched students early in his career and throughout. His insistence on hard work allowed many a Sidney student to reflect on chemistry not only as a subject, but also as a direction in their lives after high school. His passion for his subject was only second to his fervant attempt to have his students succeed. His many summers out of the area, encouraging his students to appreciate research in the sciences was amazing. To Gabby and the children, we know you will be strong in Dave's passing.

Dave’s passing leaves a hole in our school and our community. As a colleague, he was always a spark; there was not a day he came by our school when he would not offer a smile, a kind word or a pat in the back when it was needed. We will miss his laughter, his stories, his friendly banter, and above all, his zest for life.
May God prepare Dave’s way back to his heavenly kingdom, and be with the family to offer the healing they need in this time. My prayers and thoughts are with you.

Ray Taylor posted a condolence
Dave was truly a gift. The image of his smile and energetic delivery standing before the dreaded periodic table is etched in my mind. He seemed to almost discover science anew as he lectured. He responded to a correct answer with a hearty "Indeed!"
Scientific calculators were a requirement for my first college science courses. In those days the HP calculators were hundreds of dollars and I just didn't have that much. Dave found a used one for me! Once you were a student of Dave's he always watched out for you.
Rest in peace Dave.

Dave was just one of those guys who made life more interesting. He was our son, Kevin's favorite and most inspriring teacher. He was the spark who entertained us at Open House, chatted with us in Sherburne at the big parade, sang and chatted at Mass and encouraged Brynn to pursue her interest in Chemistry. He invited me into his home last summer for a beer and I stayed for 2 hours talking. When I told him the folks at Ithaca College called him "crazy Dave" he howled!
I, too, will miss his very being; his presence, his laugh and his love for people.
Comfort to his family in this difficult time.
Rest in peace, David. I will miss you.

I am still in shock he was such a wonderful guy to me and my kids. Our families shared so many memories with Tri Town Theatre and the kids grew up together at Sacred Heart.

The last time I saw Dave and Gabby they were out walking. We talked about the Intro. to Research course he offered when I was in high school. I was able to tell him what my research project was to which he replied he could check because he had all the papers still in his basement. Very typical of his caring to keep such items. You were a great and inspirational teacher and will be truly missed.

George and I were so fortunate to have been taught chemistry by Mr. Pysnik in high school and like many of his students, we learned so much more from him than the periodic table. As adults we were so blessed to have Dave continue to inspire, educate and mentor us. As much as education, politics, theater, community and knowledge meant to Dave, the most important part of his life was his faith and his incredible family. George, Lizzy and I all send our love and prayers to Gaby and the children during this incredibly sad time.

I can't even wrap my head around the notion of a man so full of life being gone. I needed Chemistry as a pre-requisite for the nusing program at Delhi and struggled with it at College level. Dave offered an adult evening course and made learning fun. I looked forward to each and every class.It was years later, when I moved to Sidney that I would meet Dave again and share a common interest of music and theatre. This time I was introduced to his lovely family. I will truely miss this great man, his contagious laugh and zest for life.

David's joyful life touched so many of us.He brought to his role as an
Emergency Disaster Volunteer with the Salvation Army the same infectious humor and optimism
for which he was so admired in other settings.
David walked the streets of Prattsville,NY following the devastating floods this past Fall, and in the midst of that tragedy and loss
brought encouragement and renewed hope through his conversations.
A few days later in a Disaster Recovery Center, his compassion along with his sense of humor altered what could have been a discouraging
environment, to one of laughter, purpose and renewed resolve for bothclientele and agency workers alike.
Scripture describes King David in the Old Testament as a man after God's
own heart.
The David we know merits that epithet as well.
May the Lord's blessing and continued sustaining  grace rest upon his precious family.

How fortunate is Sidney to have had Dave work and live here bestowing his brilliance for science to just hundreds and hundreds of students, whos impact will last forever to all of us that he touched, and taught. Always scrambling for a used computer or some old equipment Amphenol or other sources could not use for his lab classes, he was a wiz at making any (poorly working or not working at all) analytcal instrument come back to life. What a marvelous human being your were to everyone you touched. Thanks for a great job done here on this earth. Well deserved rest for you now. God Speed Dave

Mr. Pysnik was always one of my favorite guys that I knew. He was always so vibrant ad full of energy! He loved whenever I used to cantor at Church. I remember I would always get the weekly bulletions at the beginning of each mass to see what's going on, etc. I would always look to see who our lector (reader) was for the week and whenever I saw his name, I would always smile because I just loved the way he took all the Bible readings to heart and read them amazingly. Even the petitions too. I am still in shock by his passing. Words could not explain how heartbroken I was (and still am) by this tragic loss.
