Dave was a great father to his children and anyone who came over. I have never seen him without a smile. He did everything he could for his children and grand kids. It breaks my heart he was taking away too soon. I know he's at piece with his wife right now in heaven looking down at their 3 children that they brought into this world together. I am so sorry for your loss Brandon, Shannon, Olivia, James, Caleb and Jace. May your wonderful father/Poppaw R.I.P he will be missed but never forgotten.
