To quote Dave's brother-in-law "Art," Dave was born 100 years too late. He should have been a mountain man in an earlier life, he loved the outdoors and the beautiful mountains.
He was born July 11, 1946, and passed into the Lord's hands Jan. 6, 2011. He is survived by his present wife of four years, Donna Kay Hemphill; his second wife, Cinde Porter and their six children, Gwen Slater, Maraea Meyer, Iris Ehret, David Hemphill Jr., Beth Adkins and Carla Weil; as well as 22 grandchildren and one great-grandchild.
We would like to acknowledge the children of a former wife who died in 1995, as well as brothers and sisters: Denise, Everta, Teresa and Ralph.
A memorial service will be 3 :30 p.m. Jan. 22, 2011, in Bovill, Idaho, at the Bovill Community Center. You are welcome to join us!
