David was born in North Braddock, PA, and was a graduate of the Milton Hershey School in Hershey, PA. He was a tool and die maker for his entire career which began at Western Electric in Reading, PA, and ended with his retirement from Viasystems Technologies in Richmond, VA.
David was an avid Pittsburgh Steelers fan. He was an animal lover, and provided a good home to many stray dogs that he adopted throughout his life. He loved his many friends and his church family at Emmaus Baptist Church where he served as a deacon. David had type 1 diabetes for 53 years and his hope was that one day there will be a cure. His family is grateful for the love and care provided by his caregivers for the last 2 years.
