In the best of times, Dave enjoyed listening to and playing bluegrass music, riding his Harley's, fishing, and watching wildlife at his Potomac River cabin in West Virginia. He looked forward to the annual Memorial Day weekend Rolling Thunder event at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall to pay his respects to his fallen comrades. Some of his greatest loves were all furry 4-leggeds, fried morels and oysters, Levi jeans, flannel shirts, and beer! Not one to be confined, Dave was always determined to take the road less travelled. To paraphrase, he marched to the beat of a drum that most will never hear.

Services will be private. Arrangements were provided by Bast-Stauffer Funeral Home, Boonsboro, MD.
