Obituary for David Sayles Behan
Hudson Falls
David Sayles Behan passed away at his home on Sunday, July 17th, 2022, to be reunited with his loving
wife Margie at long last.
Born on April 23, 1942, David was the son of the late Sayles and Anna (Flynn) Behan.
David and Margie were married in 1962 and went on to spend 48 happy years together. Margie passed
away in February of 2011, and David missed her every day for the rest of his life.

ready and willing to lend a hand to those who needed it.
