David worked as a draftsman for Catinia builders when he was young, then Harmon Contract, then Copper Sales and finally found the job he loved working at Cabinets Unlimited in Rockford MN. He loved working with wood and excelled at building furniture, cabinets, tables and most anything someone needed built. In his younger days he worked on ice racing cars, delivered canoes in northern Wisconsin. David treasured the time he could spend on the ranch in Montana and hunt white tail. Fishing in Canada was a real joy for him and Marlys.Traveling the RV was also a joy.He was the type of RV driver that if he saw that there were a line up of carsbehind him, he would pull over and let them go by.
