Hi Sara
I was absolutely shocked when I saw Dave's picture in the obituary section. He was such a great guy! When I was riding my bike I always stopped by the house if I saw the truck and we always chatted for awhile. He umped many of my grandchildren's ball games at Brent Park diamonds and, of course he helped out with the soccer program. My heartfelt sympathy for your and Parker's loss of such a wonderful husband and father.
