David will be missed by many… He wore many hats in his lifetime: Significant other, husband, father, brother, uncle, brother-in-law, father-in-law, and a second dad. David enjoyed hunting, fishing, and traveling… David mostly enjoyed driving, he drove just about anything, if it had 2 or 28 wheels he drove it … He also was an animal lover, enjoyed being with family and friends sitting by the fire or at the kitchen table.

Suzette my Condolences to you n Jeff.
Very sorry about the passing of David. He was the driver on several trips that we took and he was always good to be around. Again Suzette very sorry for your loss!
Uncle Dave you have touched many lives and will be missed so very much. I will especially miss the great strong hugs that you always gave, the smell of your pipe and the snicker you would let out every time I would get on Toby’s case about something. Go and rest easy now and enjoy your final reward and special time with Bethly.
