Dave was first person I met when I started at Buckeye in 1987.
A relationship that would always be cherished.

RIP Dave, I will always cherish your friendship and professional interactions. Our times together in Scouting were special...Philmont, 7Ranges, National Meetings, and various Buckeye Council business. Our times together as friends were memorable...going to BB games, golfing, having a breakfast, or just sharing a laugh when the occasion presented itself. I will miss all of that from and with you.
Suzie, Ryan, Craig and Family you have our sincere condolences. We will be making a donation in Dave's name to the Buckeye Council, per your wishes.
