My husband, Randy, took care of Dave's yard. Dave had an incredibly warm heart. He was always so friendly to my kids and I when we would stop by the house. He loved showing off his fish and the pictures of his family. Losing him is an incredible loss and we are all so sorry that he is gone. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family during this difficult time.
