As members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, Dave and Chris were blessed to be able to serve an inner-city mission in the Pioneer 25th Ward in downtown Salt Lake City. Dave proudly served in the U.S. Navy from 1956 to 1960 on the aircraft carrier USS Kearsarge as a telecommunications specialist. During his career in telecommunications, he had the opportunity to live in Hong Kong and Germany for a time.
The family extends its deepest gratitude to all of you who loved and served Dave, especially in these last three years. Our heartfelt thanks and love to our friends and family for your compassionate love and service.
