IWS Member – Dave Earnest

By Region - Southwest
It is with great sadness that I share the sudden loss of Dave Earnest this week.  Dave’s talent’s were numerous.  He was an award-winning watercolor artist, a sound engineer, and I also know him because of his musical gifts.  He was a musician at the Lutheran Church I attend.  He played bass and I talked with him as recently as a week ago.  He told me he was not feeling well, but of course, showed up to play anyway.  If you had gotten to know Dave, I’m sure his family would appreciate a card.
Best regards,
Carol HasBrouck Browning
