It is with great sadness and heavy heart learning of Dave’s passing. He was a wonderful friend and mentor. I really enjoyed my last visit with him on November 14, 2013.
I have wonderful childhood memories; As we sat in their front yard under a shade tree. Talking baseball, the Detroit Tigers would be the theme of the day.
The trips to Tiger Stadium, with fellow Masonic Lodge brothers and their sons. Bringing the talk into reality, the conversations to live entertainment, the voices to pictures and the journey. The bus ride. The greatest event of the day! Awesome times; Awesome friends; Awesome people.
Prayers go out to his family in hopes of bringing solace, within.
Theses and many other memories. Keep Dave alive in our hearts and in our thoughts. Forever and ever; So Mote It Be.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Dave’s family. Fond memories of his love of fishing and his awesome talent at tying his own fly’s – the beautiful wooden toys & dishes he made – even knitting his own hats – and the “big move” to Martin. He was dedicated to the union and will be missed.
