o tell you that people were naturally drawn to him, and he became friends quickly with everyone he met. He maintained an incredibly close group of friends, most of which were his childhood and adolescent friends from International Falls. The troublemaking that took place throughout their friendships grew wilder and more dramatic with each repeated story Dave told his son (and anyone else who would listen) in the years to come. Dave will be remembered most by his family and friends as a kind man who was unceasingly loving, incredibly funny, and irrepressibly likable to all those who had the pleasure of meeting him. Dave grew up from the age of fifteen wanting a cabin in the woods of his own to escape to. With the help of his wife, son, brother-in-law, and many friends, this goal was accomplished in the form of a hunting shack in Effie, MN. A labor of love, together with his family, Dave built the empty plot of land into a modest and charming complex, complete with a sauna. He loved nothing more than escaping to Effie at every possible opportunity, where he could spend his time admiring his land, telling stories and jokes with his family, and drinking cheap light beer. Preceded in death by father, Clifford LeMoine; and sister, Loretta (LeMoine) Skwarok. Dave is survived by wife, Susie; son, Nate; mother and stepfather, Darlene and Jerry Richards; four sisters, Brenda (Jon) Promersberger, Dexie (Jeff) Dunham, Barbara (Jeff) Smolinski, and Judy (Ron Rising) LeMoine; two brothers, Chuck (Sandy) LeMoine, and Doug (Cindy) LeMoine; brother-in-law, David Skwarok; five stepbrothers, Pat (Mindy), Mike (Linda), Scott (Karleen), Steve (Sue) Richards and Casey Richards; two stepsisters, Teresa (Kevin) Gilbert and Mary Richards; many nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
