He was a former member of Lakeside Evening Kiwanis, ELKS Club, Bethel Church, and a current member of First Congregational Church in Oshkosh. Dave didn’t miss a chance to be with his daughters and grandchildren. He enjoyed watching his grandchildren play sports, baking cookies with them, and making their favorite meals. Dave used his many talents to help wherever he could. His family and church loved his willingness to lend a hand and build custom indoor and outdoor furniture, especially adirondack chairs. Dave and Linda have been enjoying traveling, with trips to Italy, Hawaii, and most recently to Mexico. He enjoyed golfing, fishing, shooting sporting clays, playing cards, and driving his Corvette. In his younger years he was in softball, basketball and bowling leagues.

Dave loved spending time and laughing with friends and family. Anyone who knew him, knew he couldn’t pass by a popcorn stand without getting a bag.
