Not sure what to say?

Dave gave so much spirit to Richfield School's as a bus driver. He was always on for something fun and interesting. Whenever there was a field trip, he knew where a great restaurant was for the drivers to get a bite and relax between runs. The favorite was Hells Kitchen. His students adored him. He was firm, fair and fun.
Dave will be missed but never forgotten as he was an original.

I also knew Dave through my cousin Judy Kent. I used to go spend many weekends on Spring Lake in Prior Lake! So many great memories.... When I meet Dave for the first time, I knew he was someone very special. He made me and my family feel so welcome. He will be sadly missed by so many and my life is richer for knowing him. May God bless and help family and friends through this difficult time.

It"s always tough to hear of a child friend and have known through the years to have passed on. I would run into Dave once in a great while and we would always share what was happening in our lives or perhaps of others we both knew. I had not seen Dave since his employment at the insulation company. He was always proud of his work. God Bless.

Dave always loved his BBQ at the lake
