Loved my Uncle Dave! I truly admired him even though the family drifted apart over the years as we do. I have so many fond memories and I will share a few here. The first memories were the many holidays spent at the house with Aunt Dorothy and the whole family getting together. Especially the Santa parties they did for all the kids. Uncle Dave sat down with me and shared his experience as a Vietnam vet when I was doing a presentation on the war in High School for my history class exhibition. Got an A and first prize! Fantastic memories of going to Glamis several times riding our atv’s. One time the funniest thing happened. Uncle Dave took me out in his dune buggy (doom buggy more like it) and all the sudden we were going down a dune and he slams on the breaks and starts hyperventilating. I had no idea what the hell was going on. Well, a bee had crawled into his beer can and when he took a drink of it, the bee crawled up his nose. He forced a sneeze and that thing shot out. Was scary at the moment but we had so many laughs at his expense after that! Uncle Dave was a stand up guy. Loved his Coors Light, Camels and his meticulously organized snap on tools lol. God bless him and the family and his wealth of many amazing friends.
