A little irony to go along with the sadness....

While he was in the water for the 8 days before they found him, his wife was quite understandably upset, and just wanted them to get him out of the cold water.

They found his body on Thursday the 21st, and had the memorial on Sunday (yesterday).

This week his wife is putting the ashes back in the lake.
I'm sure Dave would want it that way, just ironic I guess...

Old Fishermen never die, we just get reel tired.

May you build a ladder to the stars
and climb on every rung.
May you stay......Forever young
