Dave is a graduate of Firestone High School, Denison University and Case Western Reserve University School of Dental Medicine.
Dave had many passions over the years.

His most recent passion was local/seasonal food. He spent hours in his backyard garden, volunteered at Countryside Conservancy's farmer's market and his license plate reads, "FRM2TBL."

His former wife, Nancy Wiedie and their children, Robbie Wiedie, Kate (Joe) Durante, and Jack Wiedie. His sister, Susan (Shannon) Gregson and nephew and niece, J.D. and Katy.
