David dedicated his career to restoring buildings to their original condition. His passion for preserving the past was reflected in the care and detail he brought to his work, which garnered him multiple awards.

His family will hold a private memorial in early summer in the Boundary Waters. Donations can be directed to NAMI.org and bwca.com.
