After fighting ALS for several months, on Sunday morning Diver Dave was called home to Jesus' loving arms.
According to his family, he is having a great reunion with his parents, his oldest sister, his parents-in-law and many others including many FReepers.
As we recall what a Patriot Diver Dave was, it seems appropriate that he joined FreeRepublic July 4, 1998.
Dave loved this country and our troops. Many times, he drove 2 hours each way to join the Fresno Freepers in support of our troops.
Dave had a very strong faith that was an inspiration to many of us. He faced his ALS and his other health issues knowing that he was in God's Hands
and he was ready for whatever His decision would be. His faith and positive attitude was always inspiring.
His last post was at Amy's Place on January 19, 2015.
You will be missed, DD. RIP

Bon Voyage, Diver Dave. A shipmate of yours tells me that you were a good man, and a real patriot.
Many thanks for all you did to protect and defend these United States, and thank you for blessing this community with your wit and friendship.

Eternal Father, strong to save, Whose arm hath bound the restless wave, Who bidd'st the mighty ocean deep Its own appointed limits keep; Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee, For those in peril on the sea!He has found safe harbor. Deepest sympathies to the family. He will be missed.
