DAVID M. KIZER, 69, of Springfield, Ohio, formerly of Ft. Wayne, Indiana, passed away Monday afternoon, January 11, 2010 in his residence.
He was born in Frenchburg, Kentucky on November 22, 1940 the son of the late Floyd and Daisy (Lockhart) Kizer.
He served his country in the U.S. Army. Dave had a long career with International Harvester/Navistar. He started with them in 1959, working his whole career with them until he retired in 2003. His rise through the ranks began in the Forge shop cutting steel, to reworking the entire production process. In January 1983, he transferred to the Springfield plant from the Fort Wayne Scout plant. After his retirement, Dave had too much life to just sit; he took a part-time job with Windy Knoll Golf Club, helping with memberships, Pro Shop and various other functions.

On behalf of Dave, his family would like to express their gratitude to the doctors, nurses and staff for their devotion to his care and the care of others. They would also like to extend their thanks to Community Mercy Hospice.
