Condolence: Aunt Janet and Family, I am so sorry to hear of Uncle Daves passing. Although it has been years since I have seen you all, I have such fond memories of Dave. He was a good man and was always very kind to me. Please know that you are all in my prayers. Diane

Condolence: Mrs. VanMarter, Laura, Dayle and family, I am so sorry for the loss of Dave.In 1983, Our family home caught on fire and Dave and the other firefighters from Minoa got to our home quickly and put out the fire. The Eagle Bulletin had interviewed Dave and this is what he said."It's a good thing that they had a working smoke detector or we have pulled 5 bodies out of there." My father never forgot how quickly they responded and was so grateful that they saved our home. My father passed away in 2011 and I believe that he was finally able to thank Dave for saving our home. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Hugs!
