My parents have been very close to Dave for my entire life. He was like a second father to me. When my Father was unable to attend my wedding, Dave blessed me by joining me for the bridal dance. I remember hunting with him and my Dad as a teenager. As an adult, my husband and I enjoyed helping out and spending time with Dave and Jim at Hazen. Those of us who were lucky and blessed to have known Dave will miss him and are deeply saddened. You will never find another man with a more caring heart. I know that he will watch over me and my family, especially my husband as he returns to active duty in the US military. Thank you Dave, for your support and for setting an example for all of us to aspire to be.
