I was so sad to see that Dave had passed. I work at 5/3 Ballpark and had many conversations with him as he protected me at the beer portable. What a kind man he was and how proud he was of his family. I feel blessed to have known him and will miss seeing him this season. Please accept my condolences. pat buchs

We got to know Dave through our business where he was a customer and also as a police officer. After he retired we met him at the ballpark and it was always fun to catch up with him there. We even remember him as a safety officer for our sons when he was a new policeman. In all these roles, he was always kind with just a bit of humor. We will miss him. To Linda and family, please know you are in our prayers. Sid DeBoer
