After several different assignments to other Air Force Bases, Dave separated from the Air Force and the couple settled in Lodi and entered Dave’s family farming business in late 1979.

In particular Raj and the people of A Plus Hospice, Lucia from Visiting Angels, and Famiza and Raashida who provided loving and compassionate in home care to Pat during her last months.
