Moorman, David H. 71, born Feb. 27, 1949, died of lung cancer on Sept. 9, 2020. Dave meant so much to so many. He was... -Husband and father: Although he swore he wasn't spouse material, he was married to the love of his life, Barb Juntunen, for more than 20 years. He loved his son, Mo, unconditionally and unreservedly. -A lover of people: He was open and welcoming, turning strangers into friends. From interning with Sen. Hubert Humphrey to volunteering with vets at the Kenny Institute to providing a listening ear for anyone who needed it, he made sure you knew you were loved. His annual Christmas party is legendary. -A lover of the outdoors: He enjoyed hiking, biking, scuba-diving, playing backyard basketball, fishing, golfing, or just drinking beer by the lakeside. -A seeker of adventure: He traveled to Isla Mujeres, Roatan, Alaska, and the Villages of Florida, always with Barb at his side. -A proud US Marine: He served as a forward observer during the Vietnam war. He was rarely seen without his US Marine cap and he always delighted finding other Marines, greeting them with a "Semper Fi." -The epitome of loyal: He worked with Ma Bell for 40 years; he was a 3rd generation patron at Al's Bar, and an officer at the American Legion. In all his years of marriage, he kept his wedding vow to never touch Barb's tools. -A guitar and harmonica player: Anytime that he played, it was great. His favorite artist was John Prine, a love that he passed on to the next generation. -Dave was preceded in death by parents, Audrey and Maurice Moorman; brother, Thomas and brother-in-law, Bob Cardinale. He is survived by his wife, Barb; son, Maurice; step-daughters, Amy (Todd) Burgoyne, and Brandee (Matt) Daniels-Mallory; sisters, Shelly Moorman (Kevin Sweeney) and Kate Cardinale; 13 grandchildren, 3 great-grandchildren; many nieces and nephews.
