One special great grandson was waiting to greet him upon his passing. Our Dad loved life, his family and his country. Dad was very proud to be an American and to serve in the US Navy; specifically in the Korean War. It was always very important to Dave to share his knowledge and insight with his family. Sometimes, though, he was a hard person to listen to… His words of wisdom were always shared out of love and for the betterment of his family. Dad only held extreme love and admiration for each of his children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. Every person, individually, was the most important person and joy in his life. Lastly, to all those who were able to share in his life, we, each of us, are better people because of our dad, Dave Doezie.
