During the 1970's, Dave was a teacher with the Columbia School District in Brooklyn, Michigan. Dave married Freida Dermyer, and fathered two boys, Brian and DJ. They moved to Fort Collins, Colorado where he and Freida eventually divorced. Dave later met Colleen Parr, and they were married on May 28, 1989. Dave's career with Truswal eventually brought Dave and Colleen to Texas. Dave retired in 2006. The Circle H Ranch in Keller, Texas is where Dave called home. His "ranch" consisted of numerous misfit pets, which included rescued dogs, cats, miniature donkeys, miniature goats, and even "fainting goats." Dave loved to spend time with his grandchildren, Trenton (8), Dylan (6), and Lexi (4), his animals, and his friends and family. Since his retirement, Dave enjoyed his time traveling around the world with Colleen, being active in his church, sailing, and riding his Harley Davidson motorcycle. Dave was a wonderful friend, brother, father, grandfather, and husband. He has brought instant joy to those who knew him.
