I had the pleasure of waiting on Davey at the elks for 10 years. One year for Christmas he brought a metal chain in and chained a case of beer to my stocking. We had so much fun. I will miss him! xoxox
Ken and I have known Dave, his Mom and Dad and both sisters for a long time. Prayers and hugs for his son Todd and sister Joyce ❤️🙏
Not a face I wanted to see. Loved his fishing story with his Dad. I always said ” It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood when he came in to the Parlor for coffee. ” ONLY guy I called when I had a garage door problem. Will miss seeing you David. Prayers for the Family. Hang on to the memories.
