Deepest condolences to all the family and friends…RIP Dave
Many memories as neighbors. Sorry for your loss.
Dave was a great neighbor for many years. He taught my brother and I so much over the years as we grew up, how to use a gun and gun safety among other important things. I still remember hanging out in his garage playing golf on his PlayStation, checking out the animals he would widdle, or just talk about hunting and trapping. My first bit of work experience came from helping him with his small business. He was one of the greatest neighbors you could ask for and he helped shape me into the person I’ve become. He will be greatly missed.

We are so sorry Debbie, Pam, Julie, Terry and Heather and your families. Many fun and crazy times were shared between Dave and Randy as kids and their friendship carried over into adulthood. They were diligent with contacting each other on their birthdays every year. Randy will miss that call. Dave was proud of you girls and the love of his life, Debbie. He was such a proud Papa to his grandsons. Rest peacefully Dave, the memories will live on.
