He lived in the Phoenix, Arizona area until 1964 then moved to Salt Lake City, Utah. He started a 34 year career with Mountain Bell in Phoenix, Arizona and later transferred to Salt Lake City, Utah with his retirement in Provo, Utah. After retirement he started his big dream and opened up "DAVE'S DINER" in Provo for he loved to cook and he was the best. But that did not last for he was to serve his greatest love and passion serving with Dorothy on five missions for the LDS Church.

He was a wonderful father and grandfather who will be missed greatly by his family and all who knew him. His love of singing and story telling brought happiness and smiles to all that heard him.

We Love and Miss You!
