Dave was an accomplished golfer and played in dozens of tournaments over his lifetime. An avid fisherman and duck hunter, he also enjoyed traveling, picking blackberries, and following his favorite sports teams, especially the UW Huskies. After retirement, Dave enjoyed golfing, gardening, and spending time with his family. He was a first-rate supporter of all his grandchildren, and he and Karen never missed an event, game, or birthday party. Dave was a member of University Presbyterian Church in Seattle. He is survived by his wife, Karen, and his two sons Erik (daughter-in-law Stephanie) and Ryan (daughter-in-law Maely).
