He is survived by brothers,
John W. (Jody) of Grand

James A. (Barbara) of Montrose
CO; nephew, Jacob L. (Maggie)
of Grand Junction and niece,

He is preceded in death by
his parents, Harold B. Sigle and

David graduated from Elston
High School, Michigan City,
Indiana in 1961. He enlisted in
the US Coast Guard in 1961, and
served as Radioman 2nd Class.
He attended basic training at the USCG Training Station in Groton,
CT, then was stationed in St. Louis, MO, until 1965 and remained
in the Reserves until 1967, when he was Honorably Discharged.
He attended Webster University in St. Louis, MO and earned
his MA in Business; Perdue University in West Lafayette, IN and
earned his BA in Social Sciences, and Community College in
Denver, CO earning his AS in Radiologic Technology after which
he performed 2400 hours of clinical internship at Swedish Medical
Center in Englewood, CO.
He was employed by Peak Health in Colorado Springs, CO as
a Hospital Administrator. An opportunity became available for a
mobile Radiologic Technology Unit that would support assisted
living communities and nursing homes in the remote western slope
for Peak Health. David operated the mobile unit until it was phased
out at which time he moved to Montrose.
Dave worked at GNC for a short time and moved on to the Cancer
Center in Montrose.
David was always volunteering his time to Montrose Memorial
Hospital at the book exchange desk, the American Legion Dist. 11
Post 24 in Olathe, where he volunteered as the Financial Officer,
and he was the accountant for the Board of the Friends of the Ute
Museum.
In his earlier years, David was an aviation enthusiast, he enjoyed
air shows and received his Glider Solo License while in Colorado
Springs. He said it was indescribable, the silence was interrupted
only by the sound of the wind gliding over the wings and the view
from above.
Growing up in a musical family, David loved to play his 12 string
guitar, was into Leo Kotke music and enjoyed many concerts of
various other musicians. He enjoyed Celtic music and attending the
Highland games.
He was an avid bicyclist and hiker of “fourteeners”. He loved
barbecuing, creating his own spice mixes and especially enjoyed
using various degrees of hot sauces. He knew the Scovil scale of
every kind of pepper!
David will be remembered for his willingness to help others, his
sharp wit and dry sense of humor.
