Dave believed in living life to its fullest. He was a loving father, son and brother. For Dave, joy in life was most often found in being of service to others. He shared his gifts. These r

anged from technical savvy in computer networks and PC repairs to craftsmanship in woodworking. He was much loved by friends and colleagues, which included his career ending with 10 years of service with the Teachers Retirement System and previously 24 years at Control Data Corporation.
He devoted countless hours to volunteer efforts with the Austin Area Optimists, Kiwanis, programs at St. David”s and the Suburban Foundation. His strong spiritual life delivered a message of experience, strength and hope to many people.
