David R. Draper, 67, of Liverpool passed away at home on Monday surrounded by his loving family. He was born in Auburn, NY, the son of the late Major Robert J. and Bobbie (Genoa) Draper. Dave was raised and lived in Liverpool. He graduated from Liverpool High School, Class of 72, and continued his studies at Syracuse University. He enjoyed a life-long career in Retail Management, most recently at the Home Depot. David will be remembered, first and foremost, for his kindheartedness and selfless nature.
