I am so sorry to hear of Dave's passing. I just lost my mom in June this year and I can empathise with what you are going through. Even though I didn't get to know my cousin as an adult, please accept my condolences. I would like to stay in touch with you. Life is too short to miss what's most important.
Love, Bryan

Dave, I hope we can restart D and F's Wood Company one day when I join you. Meantime, try to keep the Buick on the road up there, that thing is too big to push. Ron, Judy, Luke, Zach and Katie, my heart aches for all of you. Fred

Having met only once, at Sturgis 2004,we "clicked" along with Mark and the rest of the" magnificent seven". You know a person is cool when you continually look forward to seeing them again. I guess that time will be different than what we planned.You were a class act. My deepest sympathies to the family. Sincerely, Kevin Tegtmeyer

Hay Gump!
When you ride your Harley past your house think of me. I'm thinking of you and your family.

PS I'll blow leaves at least once this year for them.

Words can not express what the heart alone can feel.
We both had the privilege of working with Dave. The pride and love he felt for his children, family and friends was very apparent. We will both miss him very much, Dale & Ellen Wasson

We remember and still laugh about the time Judy, Sally, and Dave went to pick up the pig for the pig roast and how irritated Dave got with Sally!

We had a lot of fun over the years with the kids playing ayso soccer when they were younger. Amanda & Zach playing together and Luke & Adam. John and Dave were friends for awhile as well.
