Remembering Dave at the Farm

(posted by Tascha on behalf of Linda and Larry)

We are thinking about Dave and how fortunate we are to have had the opportunity to know him. It was our privilege to know him only two years. He made RAGBRAI such a fun experience. He was never at a loss for words yet could be very serious when the situation called for it. Larry enjoyed the many conversations around the evening camps. Dave's jokes and stories kept everyone laughing. Such a competitor and always at the head of the pack.

Linda remembers when everyone arrived at the farm on Friday afternoon. Dave and Tascha compared who had the lightest bike. Of course it was Dave. Dave gave Linda lots of advice on many subjects. Will she use it? We looked forward to the send off dinners and sharing of great conversation.

Future RAGBRAI Velodox team rides will not be the same without Dave. We miss him already!

Our sympathy to Nancy and his family.
Larry & Linda Yoder
