I have many memories of Dave. Going over to the families house for parties that Deanne and Dave would have for the kids, always held in the HUGE basement. I could hardly wait to go so I could see Dave’s pole barn. As a kid it was the biggest barn that I had ever seen. Also, him welding on a trailer at my grandfathers farm. He told me to stay off the trailer before I fell….to late!! I took a chunk out of my hand and still have the Dave V. scar to this day. My thoughts and prayers to the family. Rena Pepin (Kardell)
We have enjoyed many 4 wheeling trips with Dave and Deanne in NM and AZ. Dave was always looking for Indian Ruins and we would find them. Once we had to walk for miles with our lunches and cameras, etc to get to one he had heard about, but it was well worth it. Had a great fishing trip up at the boundary waters too. We will miss Dave and all the adventures he shared with us. Loren and Linda
