RIP Dave Elligers – President of the Friends of Historic New Utrecht
We were sad to hear the news that Dave Elligers, the President of the Friends of Historic New Utrecht died this morning.
Dave died this morning on the cemetery property, as he was opening the shed to work with the volunteers this morning in Bensonhurst.
If you ever went to an event at the New Utrecht Reformed Church on 84th Street and 18th Avenue, you would have met Dave Elliger, a historian, who loved sharing the history of the church. During Liberty Weekend, Elliger would give tours of the Colonial-Era cemetery, while reenactments occurred on the grounds.
RIP Dave. Thanks for taking care of Brooklyn.
Hugs,
marlene
