Cyril David Roeder was born December 23, 1931 in Rochester, Minnesota, a son of Cyril and Frances (Carroll) Roeder.  He served our country in the U.S. Army stationed in Okinawa.  David was united in marriage to Barbara Murphy on August 8, 1964 at Sacred Heart Church in Duluth, Minnesota.  They have celebrated over 54 years of marriage together.

David was a pharmaceutical salesman for Novartis, retiring in 1997.  He was a member of Our Lady of the River Catholic Church, LeClaire, and former member at Our Lady of Lourdes where he was very active on the finance council and CEWs.  He was also a 4th Degree member of the St. John Vianney Knights of Columbus Council #4403, where he had served as Grand Knight.

David was a perennial volunteer, whether it was ringing the bells with the Salvation Army, the Knights of Columbus Tootsie Roll Drive, the John Deere Classic, at church, or with the band parents running concession stands, Dave was always willing to lend a hand.  In his free time he enjoyed golf.
