David M. Bonham, 66, of Erwinna, Tinicum Township, PA, passed away on Wednesday, May 22, 2024 at his home.
Born September 16, 1957 in Raritan Township, NJ, David attended Hunterdon Central High School but graduated from Palisades High School, after his family moved to Pennsylvania in his junior year.

David was an active member of Lincoln’s Generals Living History Group where he served as a leader portraying General Henry Slocum. He attended Morning Star Fellowship in Quakertown, PA and was a longtime “Friend of Bill.” His unique sense of humor and giving persona touched many. A loving brother, uncle, and friend to many, he will be dearly missed.
