roots and start a family. He would marry the former Barbara Hitchcock. They would go
on to start a farm and family.

He retired after 25 years at GTE Sylvania . After his
retirement he went on to open a very popular "watering hole",Sammys,in Wysox, Pa.
Those who knew him knew his nickname was Sam. Barb and Dave had many
successful years at Sammy's. People still ask about the Sammy burger and French fries
till this day. He would always deliver food didn't matter what time of day, wherever the
location he would bring it to you. He always said "I can get in the White House,all I have
to do is say I have food."

He held various positions after his retirement from the
restaurant industry. Most all of them had to do with cars and driving.
He loved to hunt. People came from far and wide to hunt with him in his hunting gang
called Peeper Hollow. He also loved farming, filling silo, spot lighting and just plain being
