traveling. There were many challenges, injuries, and illnesses that he
endured without complaint.

MASON
CITY - David L. Graff, mechanic, modeler, friend, father, and
grandfather, age 63, of Mason City, died Thursday, Nov. 10, 2011, at the
Muse Norris Hospice Inpatient Unit.
Per Dave's wishes he was cremated and the family will be holding a small
private service next summer in LaCrosse, Wis.
Dave left us early last Thursday morning just before dawn. He was
surrounded by loved ones when he said his last goodbye. He spent his
final week in his home in Mason City, filled with airplane models in
various stages of completion, much like his life.
He lived most of his life in La Crosse, Wis., graduating from Logan High
School in 1966. He was a patriot, a veteran of the Air Force and
National Guard. Dave worked for Chrysler for many years and later owned
two auto service centers where he fulfilled his passion for building and
racing late model modified stock cars.
He was formerly married to Patty Graff of Onalaska, Wis., and fathered
two children with her, Terri (Graff) Toft of Moorestown, N.J., and Paul
Graff of Onalaska, Wis. He was the proud "GrandPa" of Jessica, Emily and
Patrick Toft and leaves behind many nieces and nephews.
Dave was an independent and strong willed Norwegian to the end. Much
like a fine wine or cheddar for you Packer fans of which Dave was one,
he got much better with age. For those lucky enough to have been close
with him in his later years, you'll remember him as a proud and loving
grandfather and friend. He struggled through life more than most, but in
the end he gave back, he loved and was loved. He will be missed.
