David served his country in the US Navy from 1960 to 1966 and was stationed in Hawaii. David married Kathleen in 1966 when he finished his service in the Navy. He worked as an Engineer for the phone company for 28 years and took early retirement. David was never able to sit still for very long and continued to work at other jobs to stay busy. He loved to garden and cook. He provided day care for his grand children from the time that they were toddlers until they started middle school. He was always an animal lover and always had a dog by his side to keep him company. David was always there for others and put everyone else’s needs before his own. He was the most selfless person and it was not limited to his family.
