Dave was a practical joker. If he had a “shit eating grin” on his face you knew he was up to something mischievous. He loved pheasant and grouse hunting as well as trout fishing with his many friends and family, no good bird hunt was complete until he had one of his favorite Browning shotguns and one of his bird dogs. He always loved going for rides or to the cutter races and making sure his lawn was well maintained.

He is survived by his loving wife of 59 years, LaDonna as well as his children Teressa (Kelly) Rodriguez, Suzette (Chad) Pitcher and Lance (Cindy) Pitcher; 5 grandkids and 6 great-grandkids.
