Dave married Sheila Regenwether on April 27, 1974 at St. Patrick’s Catholic Church in Clinton. Dave was a veteran, serving with the Iowa National Guard for 6 years. He worked for Chicago Northwestern and Union Pacific Railroad from 1970-2012 as a welder and then a conductor. He enjoyed playing golf, where he was a member of the Fulton Country Club and was an avid Hawkeye fan. Dave liked hiking, travelling, walking, carpentry, home remodeling, motorcycles, and cars. His favorite places to visit were Jamaica, Orange Beach, AL, Glacier National Park, and the Washington Cascades. Dave’s favorite pastime was spending time with his family. He spent many years coaching youth sports. He truly enjoyed attending his children’s and grandchildren’s activities over the years. Dave was always willing to lend a hand to family and friends.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Sheila and her family and their children along with my cousins Dale, Donna and Dana and their families. I always enjoyed visiting with David at the Lane Family reunions. I remember how happy he was shortly after he retired. I am glad he was able to pursue his interests for awhile in retirement but wish he was still with us. He will be missed and always remembered as so personable.
Continued thoughts and prayers for you Sheila and your family through this very difficult time. May your wonderful memories of your beautiful lives together help you all get thru the days ahead love you
