Ellen, Dave, Tracy, Brandon, & Angela ~ D.D. meant a lot to me growing up, I spent many cold days hunting with him and loved to listen to his stories as a child. He was a great man and wonderful influence, I hope that I can live to be as spunky as he was! I will definately miss him a lot but I know he is dancing in heaven now. I love you guys and thank you for being a BIG part of my life.
