Dear Patricia and family:
Just heard of Dave’s passing, our sympathies go out to all of you.
I have known Dave through deer hunting and as a neighbor here in Groveland for over 25 years and always enjoyed talking to him.
Sincerely,
Chuck and Julie Keenan
May Dave find peace and happiness in the great hunting grounds beyond. Prayers….”Barns”.
Dear Love Family,
He was one of the first people I remember meeting when I moved to Groveland on Bennett Hill. Two reasons, it was a route to Dave and Jackie’s family and it was his deer stompin grounds. I think that he had a twinkle in his eyes that was so mischievous. I never could tell when he was joking or serious. I hope that the memories you have get you through this time. Be well…
Patsy and families, I was sorry to hear of Dave’s passing. My sympathy and prayers are going out to you all at the time of your loss.
