I never actually met Dave, what a crazy world where you can know so much about a man and never actually meet him. While I know he loved his boat, fishing, and hunting I know he was devoted to his family like few men are. He will be missed by many, even those that never met him.
Norm Trembley
Tanya and family,
You are all in our daily thoughts and prayers with the sudden loss of your beloved, David. Although we never had the pleasure of meeting David, it is clear that his presence in your lives, and in the lives of so many others, has been, and, will always remain indelible. By all accounts, David has been a great husband, father, soldier, scout leader, and, a good wholesome example to us all. His presence, in your hearts and souls, shall endure, and remain, until you are each reunited with him in eternal life. May, God, our Father in Heaven reward David for his loving time, well spent here on earth serving his family and fellow man. Rest in Peace, David.
Most Sincerely,
Norm & Diane Trembley, and family.

Dave was a very special man. He loved his family, his country, his friends, and those allowed him to love life more than anyone I have ever known. We met through a Facebook ad he had placed and rapidly developed into best friends. There was nothing he wouldn’t do for me (or most anybody), nor was there anything I wouldn’t do for him. I love you brother and miss you more than you know. Until we meet again.

Dave was always joking and ready to lend a hand . Dave treated you like family when you came to his home. Tonya and Dave gave my grandson a second home he spend almost every weekend at their home. He went on vacations and out on the boat that Dave built . Dave always had talks with Jeremy and gave great advice. Jeremy and I are so sad to hear of Dave’s passing our thoughts and prayers are with the Family.

While I never met David in person we emailed back and forth and spoke on the phone. We shared common interest in Tolman Skiffs, fishing, and both spent time in the Army. So sorry for your loss… I still think I have a VHS copy of his wide body tour…. With Bruce vanishing for him in the cabin.
