With this loss, the  Detroit Tigers and Cleveland Indians are missing one of their biggest fans.  An avid fan of many sports, baseball was by far his favorite.  Dave was always sure to be in attendance for his children’s many sports.  In more recent years, Dave and Nancy traveled to watch their grandson’s many baseball, football and lacrosse games.

Dave loved road trips, camping and fishing.  Many holiday weekends were spent at Interlochen State Park where he fished his favorite fishing holes on Green Lake.  Travels took Nancy and Dave to the New England coast and to Arizona, always taking in a baseball game where they could.
