Chandlee (Aiken, SC), loving daughters Lorna Chandlee (Charlotte, NC), Elizabeth Laureano (New York City, NY), Lara Lanfried (Newport Beach, CA) and Gaylene Knowles (Los Angeles, CA), and grandchildren Madeline Lanfried, Baer Lanfried (Newport Beach, CA) and Garrett Knowles, Hunter Knowles and Hannah Knowles (Los Angeles, CA). Preceding Dave in death was his brother, Tom Chandlee (Huntington Beach, CA). He lived by the words, “Never leave well enough alone.” In the words of Dave, “the world is the way it is and not the way you want it to be. You must roll with the punches and learn to trust your intuition. In other words, be your own council.” Please visit the online guest register at www.shellhouseriversfuneralhome.com.
