David enjoyed spending time with his son-in-law, Jeff. He never met a
stranger, he was Designated Dave, he would give you the shirt off his back.
Everyone loved him, especially the ladies, who would always have a hug for
him when they saw him around town, he loved his old red Ford, he drove it
everywhere, and he always got a kick out of his grandkids fighting over
which one would get it when he was gone.
