My condolences to Dave’s whole family. I was his neighbor for 32 years, and enjoyed getting to know him.. He was a great asset to our neighborhood. I know he missed Nancy so very much and now they can be together for eternity. ❤️❤️
Thank-you Dave for being such a great neighbor. I lived across the street from him, and I never knew how much I would miss him! And Nancy too! They were very interesting,and kind people.
I hope he enjoyed his life in the new place. I will always think of him as I look out my window onto his place.
So many memories.
bless him, Nancy and his family.

Dave was an excellent mentor to me at Ross Daniels, Inc. in West Des Moines. I wish his family much strength during this most difficult time.
Our sympathies to Daves family and friends.
We are sad at our loss of a generous, kind, adventurous friend and classmate. We wish we could have had more time with you and heard a few more stories of your travels and experiences. We are certainly glad that God chose to let you spend some years with us.
