Honoring the Life of Dave Amsler |
|
AMSLER, Harry David, III, passed away June 4, 2021. He is survived by his wife of 40 years, Joan Gallion Amsler. He is also survived by three children, Wallace Shane Amsler, Brandon Heath Amsler and wife, Alicia and their family, Ashley Fay Hazelton and husband, Hal and their family.
Dave is also survived by his stepchildren, Christian Leigh Dunville, Cary Becraft and husband, Peter and family and Robert M. Dunville III and wife, Erika and family and John Graham Dunville and his family. Dave had one brother, Stephen J. Amsler and his wife Karen, and their family. Also a sister-in-law, Anita Williams and her family.
Dave was born in Norristown, Pa. on March 22, 1948. He graduated from Campbell University in 1970. He then re-located to Richmond, Va., where he began his teaching career. He founded the Richmond Summer Soccer League, the Richmond Strikers Soccer Club, F.C. Richmond and founder and President of VCCL and CCL. Dave has spent the last 50 years teaching and mentoring youth soccer players in Richmond and surrounding area. He also was on the State team and Regional team staff for many years. It's fair to say he brought soccer to the area and has been responsible for many young players finding joy in the game.
A celebration of his life will be held at Huguenot Park on June 25, 2021 at 5:30 p.m.
In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to F.C. Richmond Soccer Club.

A great time was had by all at the 11th Annual John Le Lay World Cup last Monday! Our PDP and U10 Travel players enjoyed the World Cup format, and John's wife, Karen and daughter, Anne Marie, enjoyed hearing stories from some of the parents about the impact the legendary coach John Le Lay had on them when they themselves played for FC Richmond. FCR truly is a family and the John Le Lay World Cup is always a wonderful time to celebrate that! And the winners were....in the girls division final Brazil beat USA 2-1, and in the boys division final USA beat Spain 2-0 |
