As stated in his nomination form, Dave Ralley is the “neighbor we all hope to have.” Living on 66th near SE Boise Street for over five years, Dave is touted as a masterful gardener, never failing to share the bounty of his garden or his girlfriend Alex’s baked goods with others. He regularly helps an older neighbor with her yard, and with hauling her trash cans in and out.
