Sincere condolences to Ruth, Ben, Bill, Abby and family,
Dave's face was the first one we would look to see when we'd go to church. He was always so friendly and caring, asking about the family. I know he'll be deeply missed.

Very sorry to hear of Dave's passing. What a great family man and role model for not just his own family but for all who knew him. The very first time I attended a service at Redeemer Lutheran, Dave was the first person to talk to me when he saw I was a visitor and welcome me there. I will always remember him for that. My prayers for the entire family.
