    I agree Keith! He was a terrific Stepfather and Papa. We couldn’t have asked for a better person! He loved to have a good time, entertain, sing, tell jokes and stories. We will miss his (long) words of wisdom and historical knowledge. My Kenny will especially miss watching football on Sundays and playing chess with him. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

    Dave was a dear friend that I will miss so much. I enjoyed all the stories he would tell sitting on his porch or out of the golf course. He was a kind, very giving person to all of us. He loved his family so much and spoke about them often. He will be missed by all. Love ya Jarret….God Bless..

    No words can ever express our sympathy to family and friends of Dave. He was a fantastic guy and loved his family endearingly. Curt and me are so lucky to have met and been friends with Kaye and Dave. So many great memories. Great Karaoke times, fun fishing and boating. Great family times. Dave will be missed, but the memories will be held in our hearts forever.
