My brother David was someone I looked up to he was the oldest of seven children he was there for me from a distance an age difference  but I always had respect for him.  He carried himself with sophistication  and a quiet strength that I admired..special moments with Dave...comfort when I was widowed , and stepping up as head of our family when our mother passed away..you will be missed

Dave earned a degree in Mechanical Engineering while working full-time for 3M Co.  He studied nights and weekends but always made time to be an involved dad--never missing a parent conf, school performance or athletic event.  Not the kind of accomplishments that make headlines, but the stuff that makes the world a kinder and gentler place to be.  Gentleness was Dave's gift to the world.
