DNA Match

My DNA profile had a new match.  Said he is my fourth to sixth cousin.  I knew immediately his grandmother was Myrtle Powell Still.  He was born in Butler, KS in 1941 and died in Tulsa, July of 2015.  I am not including his name as the obit was careful not to name his family and I do not want to intrude, but I left the name on the picture.  The computer searches will not pick it up that way.  When I read his obit, I thought....this guy and I share genetics for sure!  If Patsy were still with us, she would love this but....at least, Fleta will chuckle and know a relative is a relative.  DNA holds the truth of who we are and who we will be.

Name withheld out of privacy for his family , 73, passed away Sunday, July 5, 2015. Dave was born in 1941 in El Dorado, KS and grew up in Dewey and Bartlesville, OK. He was graduated from Dewey High School in 1959 and from Oklahoma State University in 1963 with a Bachelor's in Accounting. Dave started his career in Lawton, OK at Lloyd Bendure, CPA, and then moved in 1965 to Cities Service in Bartlesville where we was a computer programmer and auditor. Dave worked at Helmerich & Payne in Tulsa from 1980 until his retirement.
Dave was known for his beaming smile and his charming ways; he made friends wherever he went. After retiring from Helmerich & Payne, he was an active volunteer. One of his favorite volunteer jobs was at the Oklahoma Welcome Center, where he spent all day telling tourists where to go and what to do when they got there. He was an avid reader who devoured a variety of books, ranging from James Michener to Dave Barry, and he enjoyed sharing books he had finished with his family. Dave loved wordplay - he did crosswords in pen, played Words with Friends every day, and was quick with a quip.
Travel was another of Dave's passions. As a Cities Service auditor, he travelled extensively throughout Asia and the U.S. Later in life, he enjoyed grand adventures in Australia, Fiji, Alaska, and Palm Springs and made numerous trips to see family in Colorado, Texas, and Arkansas. He loved to regale friends and family with stories about his travels, including a dramatic flight from Hawaii and the extraordinary hospitality he experienced in Fiji.
He is survived by his beloved family and dear, lifelong friends.
