This is a hard post, we lost a very dear friend this morning, Paul McConnaughay. Paul wasn’t just our landlord, he was our friend, and most importantly, our family. Paul and Lois are not just the head of the McConnaughay family, they are the rock, the anchor, the purest example of love and family comes first! The Dave’s family will feel this loss greatly! We feel as though we have been present every Wednesday evening for family dinners, on Thursdays for lunch before heading out to fish, Saturday evenings out, and many other days in between. There are maybe a handful times that we haven’t had weekly meals with the Mcconnaughay’s in our 27 years open. It has been truly awe inspiring to witness this family, their devotion, loyalty, and love for one another.
There are a few families that have made a lasting impact on me throughout the years, this family takes the lead!
Working with Paul and Lois all these years has probably been the easiest part of doing business, and I’m not sure any tenants could say this. Paul was a smart, successful businessman but more importantly a kind, thoughtful, caring, and fair man! He is with his beloved son, Dave, now. He will be truly missed by so many!
All of us, from the Dave’s Last Resort family, send our deepest condolences, prayers, and love to Lois, Lori, Steve, Sheryl, and all the McConnaughay family!
