Dave was an avid fisherman and especially loved fly-fishing. He tied his own fishing flies and built a fly rod in the 1980s. He enjoyed teaching others, especially youngsters, how to fly fish and tie flies. He was president of Shasta Fly Fishers in Redding, California and a member of Oregon Fishing Club until last year. He and his wife also enjoyed camping and duck hunting. In addition to his great love for his Lord Jesus Christ and the Lord’s Church, his heart was always for his family. He especially loved his six grandchildren.
