beach, dunes, and outdoors. You could often find him walking the beach along 
Ludington State Park, or sailing on Hamlin Lake. He loved to camp with his 
dog Wally, work in his garden, take road trips to the UP, collect stone, and 
visit family out West. We can never forget his favorite color was blue.

Dave was always loved by his colleagues and patients for his good sense of 
humor, friendly smile, and empathetic heart. He brought personal warmth and 
care to every patient he treated. He was always ready to help friends, family 
or neighbors who need assistance. He donated generously to community and

You left us too soon, and too Unexpectedly, brother! We will miss you more

peace. We know you will be hiking in the state park or along first curve.
