Dave served in the Air Force during the Korean War. Dave and Pat were life-long active members of the United Methodist Church. He spent most of his business life working in sales for Hygrade Foods. Dave had a life-long love of motorcycles and actively pursued that hobby all his life. He was an avid sportsman of hunting, fishing and boating. He was that "fun" Uncle that everyone should have. He taught us how to water ski, motorcycle, shoot skeet, play racquetball and make beef jerky. He was fun to hang with. You knew if you asked, he would help however he could. His skills as a mechanic were remarkable; everything he did, he did with enthusiasm and a will to learn and a desire to share that with others. Most of all he will be remembered and missed as a special brother-in-law, uncle, neighbor and friend.
