So many memories of Dustin. We pretty much grew up at the tavern as kids. I remember him and I would run out of quarters for the jukebox. We then would come up with the ideas of how we might be able to play songs from inserting other things into the coin slot. I tried my dads electric washers and he tried the bar toothpicks. However we both were in trouble for the toothpicks as I too wanted to see if they would work for me. It didn't. Soon Bulldog opened the game room next door to the tavern. We both knew not to repeat that step at Bulldogs! I knew Bulldog seen a way to make money, because all of us town kids were stuck with our parents at the tavern every weekend bored, driving all the adults crazy. What fun times! Dustin was an onry kid. He loved to do things that would test the waters. He loved the attention he received. I am sure he was like that as an adult. Not sure. When I grew out of Paris we lost contact. I would run into him in CoMO from time to time. He was always very pleasant and outgoing. He never forgot a face. Dustin you will forever be missed. I'm a little bias here but I think you were way to young to have gone. At one point recently I thought I'd be the first to go from our class after fighting cancer. RIP my friend. Will see you on the other side. May the family have time together needed for healing.

I have so many childhood memories of Dustin and all of the antics we kids would get up to at my grandparents’ house (Hazel and Charles Shatzer) on Christmas through the years. I’m so sorry to hear he has passed away. My thoughts are with his family, especially his daughter. Sending peace and comfort to you all.
