Dave's Country

about

My dear brother in law, Dave Schumacher, will be missed because of his love, care and being an all round inspirational good guy.
Thank you for your life, Dave, this song I wrote for you.
The space you created made your own special country, which we were blessed to visit.

lyrics

Dave was a fan of country music, and taught me to yodel when I was young.
He was also an Olympic wrestler, a dedicated Christian example, and an avid restorer of old cars, as well as many other things.
However what moved me was his love for his family, and especially my sister.

Then when I was a little older and wanting to take out a girl on a date, he lent me his car.
When I finally got my first car, he taught me how to pull the motor apart and put in new rings (it needed them)
He taught me how to breathe when wrestling, both on the mat and in life.
And he was there to bring enthusiasm and joy by driving the wonderful cars re rebuilt, especially his two early 1915-25 Dodges.

Rest in peace, Dave
