So sorry to hear of David's passing. Dave was a daily visitor of my car lot in Liberty and we became good friends. I enjoyed the time I spent with him and his family and all the stories we shared with each other. Dave was very proud of his family as he should of been. He and Debbie raised three great sons which I have no doubt will carry on the Woeste name with honor. May God be with the family and comfort you all. I'll miss you buddy.
