Dear Jill and family,
May you be comforted by the wonderful memories you have of Dave. He was a good man who loved God, family, church and his country. He was an integral part of Minnewashta and an example for all. It has been a long road but his testament lies in his faith, long marriage and loving family. He will be missed by many.
With deepest sympathy,
Colleen Moore
