Dave and Laurie we’re married 19 years. They enjoyed many things together including riding their motorcycles, spending time with their family and grandchildren. Dave was very proud of his family and the life he built. He was a man that was always seen laughing and having a good time. He took a genuine interest in the people he met and the friends he kept along the way.
Dave will have a Military Service at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund.
