Davewas a true country boy who flew by the seat of his pants. He was an avid outdoorsman enjoying hunting, fishing and inearlier years running his hunting dogs. He could often be found in the fields baling hay or in the forest getting his supply of wood for the winter. Dave always said there was a peacefulness that could be found in the woods. He was a straight forward man, always telling it how it was, even if you didn't want to hear it. Dave enjoyed visiting and oftenmade time to stop and say hello. No matter how far away from home he was he seemed to know someone.
