I worked with Dave and remember the robot he would have gliding around the hallway during back to school night. An energetic guy and I enjoyed his company. Gone but not forgotten. My wife and I extend our deepest condolences. Nick 'n Tina Santo

So sorry to hear of Mr. Pause’s passing. He was a highly energetic, upbeat man who had an outsize impact on many students lives …. mine included.
He connected me with my first job, which directly led to my second job, which directly led to my wife of 46 years and counting.
I know of numerous instances of first jobs leading to full time employment and progressing to business ownership, all stemming from Mr. Pause’s initial placement.
A good friend and I once simultaneously blurted out Mr. Pause when asked about our most influential teacher. Ironically, we were several years apart in school and not aware that we were each Mr. Pause students.
I cannot imagine any MPHS teacher having more direct impact on so many young lives as did Mr. Pause.
Well done David Pause!

Q: What will you never forget about David?
A: Mr. Pause, i met in my Junior Year 1967 at Mont Pleasant high school. He inspired many students with his confident style. Always enthusiastic. I was involved in the Deca club and the student store .His pride and leadership helped Mont Pleasant be the great high school that it was. He was well respected by all students and teachers. A great mentor to me .God Bless you for all that you have done. Pete Battaglia

Dave was a beloved neighbor. Many a time he shared our little group of dog walkers as we strolled around the block. He was always full of stories about his life, his grandkids, or his children. He truly loved his wife Carol and was always attentive to her. His main concern in the last few months was what would happen to Carol. Dave was a gentleman.
Dave was so happy to get Channel and beamed with delight at the mention of her name. She could do no wrong. They were quite a team around the neighborhood. Dave,with his walker, would come down the street, with Channel leading the way. Once in a while they would get all tangled, but Dave would calmly untangle the length of rope and continue on . As Dave's breathing got worse, Dennis or I would frequently walk them back up the road to their house. He would do anything for Channel.
Dave will be greatly missed.

Sending my deepest condolences to the Pause Family. I'm sorry for your loss. Mr. Pause was a wonderful and fun educator who had a most positive, memorable effect on his students. Educators today could use a lesson or two from the GOAT'S!
God speed Mr. Pause and thank you.

Mr. Pause was an absolutely wonderful individual. I had him in High School for Distributing Education. I worked in the Student store etc. He was such a joy to be around as a teacher and individual .Always pleasant, funny, and made learning fun.
He has not changed over the years.
Deepest sympathy to His family and friends.
May he rest in peace and will forever be remembered.
Hugs, Rae-Marie Delella

It is with much sadness that I learn of David's passing. David and I met in the 8th grade. Our paths crossed once again when we both attended SUNY/Albany, and here we became fraternity brothers by joining EEP (Edward Eldred Potter Club). For two of my years at SUNY I lived with an aunt between Albany and Schenectady. During this time I commented to school via the local bus system. Many mornings while waiting for the bus David would pull up on his VESPA motor scooter and offer me a ride to school. I treasure the fond memories of David. While we lost track of one another after college graduation, I often thought of him and what he was doing - my condolences go out to his family and friends. He will be greatly missed as one of my oldest friends ...
