Dave was an avid golfer and always had a great time with his buddies as they traveled to many exciting courses.  He loved to swim and be near the water.  He was a regular at the Angler’s Club in Bloomington when he was growing up.  He was a loyal Florida Gators fan.  One of his greatest pleasures was to read to his grandchildren and derive joy from their reactions to the stories.

Dave was a kind and gentle man; a great story-teller with a wonderful sense of humor and a marvelous laugh.  He will be deeply missed by his family and all those who loved him.
