Dave was a small business owner in Michigan City. He had two laundromats and a laundry equipment distribution business. He loved to fish, whether on his bass boat or on Lake Michigan for coho and perch. Dave loved to take his family out on Lake Michigan for fishing, skiing or just for a cruise to a random port and even through the locks in Chicago. He also had a love of classic cars and enjoyed going to car shows.

Dave was proud that he attended Purdue University West Lafayette and was proud that his three children attended, as well as two grandchildren.

Dave loved the fact that he and his wife had visited all 50 states, and the majority of those trips were with his family in their Winnebago. He even drove that Winnebago to the top of Pikes Peak.
