Many young boys remember Dave as a man who took of his time to teach us all about hiking and camping. He taught us to respect the outdoors and to respect ourselves. He showed us though his example what a real man of God is. That living a good christian life was more than just words but a way of life. Many young boys grew up to be good men because of dave, and I thank him for what he taught me. I will miss him but he is now with God and happy. Thank you dave.

There are no words to say that can let you know how sorry I am about Dave's passing. It's great for Dave but hard for the ones who are left. I pray for the Lord's peace to cover Hazel and Dave's children and families during this time. Dave and Hazel mean so much to me. He will never be forgotten.
