Very sadden to learn of Dave's passing. I so much enjoyed getting to know him and visit with him all these years. When he worked at Jester Park he would give me a large bag of found balls because he knew I would lose many. Just a great guy and my sincere condolences to his family

Sorry to hear this sad news. I have known Dave since the 60s. We competed in college and town team baseball back then. Later we competed as basketball coaches in the Hawkeye Ten. He was always a 1st class person and true friend. I will miss seeing him at athletic events in the Des Moines area.

Diane, Angie, Greg, and Steve,
So sorry for your loss. I have many fond memories of being neighbors. It was great fun to celebrate at my wedding with all of you. Dale and I really enjoyed sitting by Dave in the stands at the Valley football games when Jordan was in school. Dave always made me feel special. May you be blessed with memories of love during this sad time.
