So sorry to hear about one of my best fishing buddies. Sorry I didn’t hear about the passing until Aug. would have loved to meet his family. You will be missed….
I had such a cruch on you while we were in jr. high. You were one of people I was hoping to get to see at our up coming high school reunion. I’m sorry that won’t happen. Rest well.
Will remember good times shared with Dave and Donna. Doug Steineke
It was good to get to know you as a neighbor and friend will miss the talks we had.

Rest in peace my neighbor. We did not speak often but when we did, it was worth the wait 🙂
To all who knew Dave not too much needs to be said… He was a man of few words, but when he spoke his words came from what he thought as a purpose…..With many nights mulling though the delivery process, he was concrete, direct and above all—–in his own way, aimed to show respect. Dave made you work to get to know him. If you know what I mean by this, you repested him for what he is as much as I do. He could fix just about anything !! He knew a little about a lot of things. He spoke with conviction. Sometimes he spoke with too much conviction—and realized later in life of this. He wanted to be a teacher originally, before becoming steady in other trades in his life: Manager of JCPenney Automotive Dept, Commercial Fisherman, Owner/Manager of NW Automotive Service Station, Builder/woodworker, and spent most of his family rearing years with Georgia Pacific Corportation where he retired late in 1999. Thanks Dad for being all that you are, all that you gave and all that you taught me to be !!!
