He was a 32 Degree Mason of the Scottish Rite and his son D.A. Jr. was a 33 Degree. They enjoyed a relationship not only as father and son but also as Masonic brothers.
Some of the things D.A. enjoyed the most was spending time with his family, eating good food and watching his cows graze. He was in his element when anyone wanted to hear a story about the "old days" and could remember people and events from his early childhood. This fantastic memory continued up until the time of his passing.
He will dearly be missed by his family, friends and all who knew him.
Any contributions in his memory can be made in his name to any local Masonic Lodge.
