He retired in 2002 from the Moniteau School District. 

Dave was a devoted father to Diane L. Thompson(Jeff) and was extremely proud of his grandchildren, Kayla R. Madison(Dan), Brandon A. Madison(Keri), Marissa N. Baptie, Dillon J. Madison and Tiffany D. Madison(Matt) and his great grandchildren, Isabelle, Lilliana, Aurora, Audrey and Ariana.  He is also survived by his fiancé of 22 years, Carol Wilson, sister-in-law, Donna Livengood and many nieces and nephews.
