Dave was a great guy who enjoyed life and family. We will always remember Dave and Lois as they both were wonderful people and always had time to visit with you and share was happening in their lives. They also were interested in what was happening in other people's lives. We always looked forward to seeing them at family gatherings. May the many wonderful memories be a source of strength for you during this difficult time. May God continue to bless you. Love, Virginia, Wayne, and Sherri Shelle and Nathan
