He graduated from St. Mary's Catholic School, Clarks Mills, and Valders High School where he made many lifelong friends. Dave worked at Bahr Construction and A.H. Voight Lumber before starting his 28-year career in the Maintenance Department at Valders Area School District. He took great pride in preparing the athletic fields for the sporting events. Dave truly enjoyed trouble shooting electrical or plumbing problems at the schools. He was a proud member of the Wisconsin National Guard in Two Rivers.
