I had the pleasure of working with Dave and the Transmission Lineworkers for several years.  I often told Dave that he really should write a book about his life.  He had so many great hobbies and interests, and was lots of fun to talk to and work with.  His vehicle restoration, his truck/tractor pulling, his pond and yard that I liked to call Weiss State Park, and his tinkering with garage items made from car parts for man caves were just a few that I got to know about.  Weiss-man was a true Lineman's Lineman and he taught a lot of people, including me, about how proud he was to be a Lineworker.  I appreciate the time that we worked together and am sure that he will be greatly missed...my sincere condolences.
