We have many memories of Dave, a loving and caring man and I was around when Jo started dating Dave many years ago and how they fell in love very fast and through ups and downs they were a special and loving couple, with two sons and now many grand chikdren! He loved hugs you will be missed

From 3 a.m. wake ups to go fishing at the dam in Lansing, to Dunkin´ Donuts breakfasts and Coca-Cola + M&M´s evenings. From fishing in your big blue boat and sleeping in the Great Lakes to camping out in Pentwater and going to AJ´s. I served our country just as Papa did, with honor. And I had the honor of him putting my Infantry blue cord on me, just as he wore. I only wish to be half the man he was. I am so blessed to call him my Papa. Thank you for all the wonderful memories you´ve given our family. We love you and Jamma more than anything. Your legacy lives on.

Never had the pleasure of meeting this gentleman but he sure did pass down to us a wonderful son. My condolences to the family..love Art and Patty Gonzales

We lost a great man. He was kind, caring and always happy. You're missed Dave

My Papa got to put my Infantry blue cord on me after I completed Infantry school. It was an honor to serve this country just as he did. He was and is the most important male figure in my life. I remember going fishing on the Great Lakes, sleeping on the big blue boat, getting sea sick from eating too many Cheetos. I remember getting woken up at 3 a.m. to go fishing for hours at the dam in Lansing. I remember our Dunkin´ Donuts in the morning, and our Coca Cola and M&M´s in the evening. He gave me so many good memories that I´ll forever cherish. I only hope to be half the man he was. Rest in peace Papa. I love you -Kyle

Great times, great friends.
Dave i hope you're fishing with Steve now in heaven!
