Dave told us that – his dad retired in June of 1980.  He and his
mother bought a mobile home in a retirement trailer park in Apache
Junction, Arizona (35 miles east of Phoenix) in 1983.  They would
go to Apache Junction in the fall and come back to Moline in the
spring.  For the last 10 years they lived in Apache Junction the year
‘round.  There's a par 3 nine-hole golf course within the mobile
home park. His Dad would play golf virtually every morning. From
1983 until his last hole-in-one in February of 2007 he had 82 total
holes-in-one!  In December of 2005 he had an operation to remove
a slow-growing cancer on his appendix.  They removed his
appendix but the doctor knew that he didn't get all of the cancer.
Dave’s Dad quit playing golf last May and at that time his Mom
thought something was wrong but he didn't want her to tell any of
the kids about how sick he was. Dave and his sister and spent 2
weeks in Apache Junction last December seeing their father both in
the hospital and an assisted care facility before he was transported
back to Moline via a medical van.




Our heartfelt condolences go to Dave and his family -
