Uncle Dave has been a inspiration in my life. Memories go back a long time to when I was around 5 years old and he took me fishing, in later years we went pheasant hunting in Ohio, and taking a ride in his "Great Lakes" bi-plane. He was never short for a story. Our times together have influenced my career and family choices in life. Years have gone by and he now leaves a wonderful family behind. He will be sorely missed but not forgotten.
Our prayers are with the family,
