After a successful career at Farm Credit Services, Dave retired but soon went back to work helping facilitate loans between banks and Farmers and Ranchers. Dave and DeeDee hosted an annual Christmas Caroling party and Dave led the “Choir” with his booming voice. He loved to golf and gamble and gamble while golfing…Dave was smart, funny and generous and always ready to help a person in need and will be greatly missed.

There will be a party to celebrate Dave’s life. Details will be shared in the future.
