As my daughter’s father-in-law, we have been knowing David for many years. A quiet man who towered over many people. Yes a gentle giant with an unbelievable love for his family and granddaughters. You couldn’t help but like him. He will be sadly missed by all who knew and loved him. He is reunited with his beloved wife Pam Sellers and may they both watch over their family in God’s arms. Prayers to all the family.
