Dave was born on December 22, 1947 in Louisville, KY to the late Joseph and Gertrude VanMetre.
He retired from the Naval Ordinance. Dave served in the US Navy during the Vietnam War. He enjoyed golf and old cars. Dave enjoyed spending time at the lake and living life to the fullest, and most of all he loved spending time with his family.
