Dave’s life - what an accomplishment. I was made to feel extremely special and welcome during my visit to Dave and Kitt’s home. What really stuck with me was Uncle Dave taking me for a ‶tour″ of his spread. We road for a while from the house, he stopped and said; ‶See that ridge? The other side of the valley? See the line of trees? Everything between here and those trees is mine.″ We drove some more and he stopped a another great vista. See that line of trees over there? I cleared all the land you can see.″ It wasn’t boastful, it was pride in a job well done. When Dave was around, he always kept me smiling, even during visits at the hospital. I’m smiling now thinking of the stories he shared about square dancing. Dave has danced all the way to Heaven. Rest well Uncle Dave - you deserve it. Love Jeff and Cheryl.
