Dave was an avid sportsman who enjoyed hunting, fishing, and river trips all across the United States. As a founding member of Willow Creek Country Club, he enjoyed countless hours of golf tournaments, charity functions, and cards.
Dave is survived by his wife, Olga, two sons Paul and Karen of Salt Lake, Jerry and Verlyn of Layton, 10 grandchildren and five great-grand-children.
