Dave was a patriotic leader who always was serving others. He put other people first and never sought recognition for himself. Together, he and Liz, made sure our area veterans were recognized and cared for. Post 9751 thrived under his leadership. Rest peacefully, Dave, you have run your race and you fought the good fight! Well done Kay Jo and Ronnie Baucom
